"Danny The Dog" written and produced by "Luc Besson".
Danny [Jet Li] is a chinese slave with the mind and personality of a little child raised as a dog trained to fight and kill. Forced to wear a dog collar around his neck. Danny has been trained to be a vicious pit fighter and bodyguard by his cold hearted "master" Bart [Bob Hoskins]
When Bart falls into a coma after an accident, Danny takes the first steps towards attaining his humanity when he meets a blind piano tuner Sam [ Morgan Freeman] and his step-daughter Victoria [Kerry Gordon] what happens next you have to see, it's worthwhile! The soundtrack is from Massive Attack and RZA and really great.
21 grams, cold, dark, sad. feels real. watched it many times. i havent seen many films that have grabbed me recently, in fact ive stopped watching tv and films all together now (pretty much). it seems to take away from the time i have to listen to music.

That movie had me prostrate with grief. I'm not sure how I feel about mexican cinema, really. My buddy who studies spanish lit in college told me that the scene where it's snowing at the end of the film with Benicio Del Toro represents the message of redemption in the film. So, yeah.
I mean, it was a good movie, but TALK ABOUT DEPRESSING.
The last film I saw that really stuck with me was 'Irreversible'... It's one of my favorite films, but it is also <i>astonishingly</i> violent and definately not for everyone... You've been warned!

You should look at " Baise Moi ". It could be a strickingly effective public service announcement against the dangers of casual sex if it weren't for the fact that the 2 women Manu and Nadine like to murder strangers, male and female, indiscriminately even if no sex is involved. "Baise Moi" is a combination of porn and heavy violence from the year 2000, a real shocker.

I only watch tv for infotainment, but i never could stop watching movies, like music and reading it takes all my free time and i like it.
Lucia y el sexo (very intriguing!) Fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain (very moving!) Spun (a movie about drugs like requiem for a dream; also with bizzarre filming edits; very nice) Girl Next Door (a very lightweighted teen movie but I felt connected with it being in a romantic mood)

I highly recommend all of them
