I guess most danish movies don't hit the international market. Still, I agree that it has been very quiet from my western neighbor lately. One can only hope they don't follow us swedes and begin to produce pretentious crap.
Got a tip for us?

I haven't seen it.Ah, no Tampopo then?
I do like The Funeral.
One memorable scene in when the uncle answers the phone while they are in the process of grieving the deceased.
just saw 300, and it was awesome! probably not the best character development, but the special effects and action scenes were dynamite.
Some 'not-to-miss' movies of the last several years:
Finding Neverland
Pan's Labyrinth
City of God
An Inconvenient Truth
V for Vendetta
The Queen
and
Crash
but my personal favourite:
Finding Nemo.
Notice I did not include any obscure movies, for I am not a film snob.

Forgot to mention Crash. Incredible movie, really made an impact on me.
Did you also enjoy the fascist, homophobic, racism?
yes i did!
no, but in all seriousness, i liked 300 cause it was entertaining, not because of those 'endearing' qualities you listed.
I haven't seen the film (and that's the way it's staying
), but judging by the trailer - all buffed-up six-packs, leather jock-straps and well-oiled biceps - I thought the film would be more homo-erotic?

you're right!

A little from column A, a little from column B.
I found the movie, compelling interesting, visually compelling, and politically repulsive... all in all, one of the most interesting movies I've seen recently.
It's gotta be Metropolis!
Or the Shawshank Redemption
or Crash
Oh, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a great film also, which was mentioned right at the beginning of the thread

Shame, no Pan's Labyrinth? Eek.
Was it ever considered overrated? I think it was universally panned. I saw the film* and it was utter junk.
*term used very loosely
WTC was safe, boring and predictable. Nothing I expected from the director of the now-classic Platoon.
Without starting a flame war or anything, can you really briefly tell me why you feel like that? Repulsive is a pretty strong word...
...was it the line that said something about "they have sex with boys" near the beginning? Thats all I can think of that could be in any way at all construed to be homophobic. Even then it more of a pedophilia thing to me.
Im honestly asking because I want to know, not because I want to argue the point. Otherwise the main political slant I could find was the few men fighting for freedom versus the rest of the "world". Freedom isnt free, etc. etc. etc.
Overall I thought it was pretty darn good. The fighting seemed a bit cheesy at times (for example, the enemy running straight forward with sword raised as high over head as possible, while the Spartans slash them across the stomach), but overall I give it a passing grade.
Oops, forgot about Pan's Labyrinth. I love that movie quite a bit! Very inventive
Thanks for reminding me

Too much fighting indeed. I kept on thinking about the Bush connection with 300 and man that was too much for me.
That was actually a rather good film. I went along not knowing anything about it and without a clue what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was.
I hear though they're planning a sequel we'll see.
By the way wasn't Why We Fight released in 2005, not 2006?
