I would say Rabbit-Proof fence, Antonia's line, Since Otar Left, Valentino are some of the good ones that I have seen recently... I would suggest everyone to check those out.. if you want more information about them, then just search it in google..

Melina ho ki Malena ho confused bro?

Let me put some of the names thats floating in my mind right now.

Malena (Italian) - 9-9.5/ 10 ( The lady is beautiful and (sexy). Malena.. ahhhhh.. wot a performance.) - Definitely a must watch.

Y Tu Mama Tabien - 9-9.3/10 ( Very interesting, and sexy. The relation between two frens in their late teens close to wot we might have experienced with our frens ( not the Y Tu Mama Tabien part :) are all nicely portrayed. The ending is good. Something we can relate to) - A must watch , definately.

Life is Beautiful (Italian) - 11/10 (Wot else can i say about this movie. To put it simply, the movie upholds the human spirit. It is a comedy that would make you cry. Guido is as charming as anyone can possibly be, his "princepesa" ably supoprts him :) and their son basically showed the innocence and power of human spirit that enraptures us all, when he says, " We won mom , we WON" ). "Life is beautiful" is in the league of its own, a modern masterpiece. You would realize that one can laugh with joy and yet feel the pain at the same time. Basically it would help you learn to live and live happily at that. You have not seen this one, you are DEFINITELY missing out.

With a Friend like Harry (French) - 8-8.5/ 10 ( Nothing extraordinary about this movie, but its creepy. But you would not be disappointed. Give it a shot, if don't mind sparing an hour or so and would not want to waste your time watching some SHIT thrown by hollywood or bollywood. Its a lil psychotic, a lil crazy, but its a good movie, or so i think.

Trainspotting (UK) - 9-9.5/10 ( I bet most of us have watched this movie. If not, you are missing out dude. its GROSS (dive into ``the filthiest toilet in Scotland'' in search of mislaid drugs) at times, heart wrenching once in a while (when the baby dies, moda fawka addicts!), often FUNNY. It is about few drug addicts and their.. you know what..
But the movie is EXCELLENT. MUST see. P.s: What about the "Chopping off" the dick part. Damn that was GROSS and EKKKKKKKKKKKKKKS)
