tideland - really gorgeous creepy movie by terry gilliam, came out last year.

the 2007 academy award nom. shorts are amazing. i highly recommend watching "west bank story."

three colors - have you seen? blue was the best one, imo.

matchstick johnny - roberto begnini at his slapstick finest. ditto night on earth, as long as you skip the short with winona ryder.

Thanks! I haven't seen any of these, though "Three Colors" is already in my queue.

I second the recommendation for Tideland. It's really intense at times, but wonderfully beautiful and surreal.

oh - and "earth" by deepa mehta, the same woman who made "fire." fire was beautiful and touching, and the issues were intense and profound, but from a filmmaking perspective i thought earth was a more well made movie. my indian friend was convinced that this is because i don't understand indian culture...

*shrug*

also, have you seen trembling before god?

(But you'll find "Matchstick Johnny" under the Italian title, "Johnny Stecchino")
