"Not One Less" from China, "Koyla" from Czechoslovakia, "Infernal Affairs" also from China, "Shall We Dance?" Japanese original ('hated the American version), "Shadow Magic" from China, "Babette's Feast" from Denmark, "Like Water for Chocolate" Mexico, "Joint Security Area" from Korea, "Story of the Weeping Camel" Mongolian/German, "Run, Lola, Run" from Germany...and so many others!

One of my favorite movies ever from when I was a little girl is "legend" directed by ridley scott. It stars tom cruise and mia sara. It was a total bomb at the box office, but I looooooooved it. I have recently purchased the dvd, and I can see what the problems with it are now, but I still like it a lot.

In a galaxy far far away
Yay! Happy topic!
I loved the Village
Other Movies...
Fight Club - very smart & actually better than the book... Hmmm...(at least the folks I know...)
Star Wars Prequel... How did you think it was going to start? I so don't understand why everyone was so upset... He was a baby! And if you really pay attention to the story, you can see the natual progression to the "dark side." The only part I have a problem with is how unmanly Samual L. Jackson looked running in his robe during the battle at the collusium. Oh! And R2D2 flying...

Kwanford, where people are upset is NOT in teh story line, but how George went about using computers over everything else. Every shot in these movies is mostly computer. The actors basically were acting in a green screen room. It makes the movie look crappy.
and everyone I know hate's Jar Jar. How annoying can one get?
That being said, while I hate what Lucas is doing with the movies, I will be first in line at the local theatre this May when the final prequil comes out... it looks to be good, story wise.
George Lucas lost teh magic of star wars because he got too interested in graphics... it's not real anymore (not only that but why are they so technologically defieciant AFTER the prequils? wouldn't they advance?) :sheesh:

Because of the Evil Empire!!! The people of the galaxy lost a lot of their control, money and technology once the Empire swooped down and over ran their governments. Also, the envirnments on most of the planets went south, so the Naboo in Movie 1 is a lot different 20 years later...
Jar Jar was needed because the future Emporior needed a flunky to take the bill about building the droid army.
The first Star Wars was made almost entirely on a movie soundstage with lots of models & blue screens...
Ooops! My inner nerd is coming out... But its cool, I've been having this arguement approximately once every six months since Episode 1 came out... I'm just a sucker for Star Wars!
And I honestly believe that all of the story lines will come together in Episode 3 ~ but like you, I will be first in line!

somehow I don't see the Empire also deciding to have crappy ships
and while there were many soundstages and blue screens they used actual things to create the ships... not pixar animation... the star destroyers look so much better than, say, the Queen's ship(s)

Yeah, the star destroyers were sweet I will give you that... But the Queen's ship rocked with that whole wet-looking exterior ... Plus, the pixar animation in SW didn't give me a headache like the cartoon movies do, particularily Finding Nemo which gave me a serious migrain.
Who am I fooling? I just love Star Wars: the good, the bad and the Jar Jar!
(Why oh Why can't I figure out how to use the Smilies on this board!)

I agree with you about The Village. Unfortunately there weren't enough people with college-level IQs who have seen it. It takes so much analysis it gives me a headache sometimes because of all the metaphors and paradoxes and such.
