Indian movies are so far away from reality that its impossible to take them seriously. Those are all sheikh's ratings

You haven't seen the good ones Not all movies in India are from Bollywood you know.

Mammooty films are the best!

Some of his movies from the 90s are bloody brilliant tbh.

I've seen Headhunters and King of Devil's Island. The first is with Aksel Hennie, who is an excellent actor. Any of his stuff is worth a watch. I have not heard of the other three you mention.

Oh. A Somewhat Gentle Man is another with Skarsgard that is very good.

And while we're on this Scandinavian kick, with a Norwegian theme... Have you checked out the TV series Lilyhammer with Steven Van Zandt and Trond Fausa. Brilliant show. I think it's on Netflix too. Dark comedy about a New York Gangster in witness protection in Norway.

For anyone interested in anime films. Isao Takahata's latest The Tale of Princess Kaguya just showed up on torrent sites a few days ago. Here's a link to a dual audio version, one can choose either the Japanese audio with English subs, or the English audio. http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/1166...nces.Kaguya.2013.JAPAN.US.720p.BRRip.x264-JYK

There's a smaller version available as well. Brilliant, brilliant film.

They have Lilyhammer, just added to the list.

I can't get enough of Watchmen.

Such an underrated masterpiece IMO.

 

[Dostoevsky]

The Tale of Princess Kaguya - It's pretty hard to cover topics such as life, destiny and freedom, but this movie did it. Drawings (not to say animations) were absolutely wonderful. It was also pretty funny how they had 15th August as 'dooms day', same day when I was born. Great movie and a real masterpiece.

Yep, that's how you make a superhero movie.

Like? My point is there are no critically acclaimed movies coming out of India.

I've seen that, wow, its been 20 years.

Actually, go on IMDB. The highest rated movies every year are always scads of Tollywood, Bollywood, Sandalwood, etc. flicks before anything you might recognize comes up.

Acting must be such fun.

Yesterday I put on an old vintage Kappa athletic jacket I haven't worn in a while. I felt like Paulie Walnuts.

[radekas]

No nomination for Peter Dinklage

 

[Hængebøffer]

That's because of the genre.

 

[radekas]

Fantasy racists .

Anyway I think it's more of the "oh GoT doesn't really have a leading actor so we won't nominate anyone even if Marlon Brando reincarnates and plays there" .
