Right, first ten suggestions get nominated, but only nominate, if you're actually gonna join in. There's some rules though. It has to be available fairly widely on DVD, so no cinema releases. Also, each nomination must be accompanied by a link to your film on imdb, and rotten tomatoes so everyone can see what the film's like.
Right, my nomination is Ghost World. I haven't seen it, but I've wanted to for a while. Here's the reviews.
Nominations so far:
Ghost World
Wag the Dog
The Dead Zone
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Betty Blue
Romper Stomper
City of God
Chopper
Crash (2004 version)
Amores Perros (Life's a bitch)

My Dad has that. He tried getting me to watch it the other night. If this wins then he might cry with excitement that he can watch it again because I'll be wanting to see it.
Still want everyone to see betty blue though.
Excellent film. :thumb:
I second this.
Or else 'Chopper'! Another Australian based film.

second romper stomper, or nominate chopper?
Well I'm adding Chopper to the nominations. I was also merely showing my appreciation of Romper Stomper.
If so, I'll join in, can't think of anything to nominate right now though. Maybe Crash? Although most people have probably seen that already.

Yay. Seconded. It *is* in Spanish but don't let that put anyone off, as not only is it subtitled, but a lot of it is visual. My ex couldn't read English very well but he still loved the film.
Betty Blue is French, and has a lot of sex scenes and nudity, but I hope that doesnt put people off because thats not what its all about.

It's set in Mexico City, it's three separate stories and lives which collide when a car crash takes place. It's really, really cool, makes you think (and has some hot men in...and cute dogs)

Good call on the Romper Stomper Skive. It's only £3 from big tescos I think. Have you heard of a movie where a jewish lad denies his roots and joins a neo-nazi group? I read a review of it once but then couldn't remember the title to go watch it...
Someone needs to make a poll though so we can work out which one to watch!
Well there wouldn't be much point nominating big Hollywood things that most people would have already seen.
I like the idea of being recommended films that are foreign or old classics.
I have another nomination: American Desi. It's about a group of Indian students who end up being put in the same halls at an American university. Very funny.
