I believe this is even better. Another Brazilian film I would recommend is O que e isso, companheiro? which was translated as Four Days in September in English and is about urban guerrilla in the crazy 70's in Brazil. Obrigado.

"Infernal Affairs" is awesome (it's the 'original' of "The Departed" and better than the American remake). If you're looking for something light, fun, yet full of substance, I recommend "L'Auberge Espanol" and its sequel "Russian Dolls." I love both. If you want something that will blow your socks off, then watch "La Haine." It leaves your heart racing. I love films by Wong Kar Wai as well, although my favorite of his is “Chungking Express.”

I recommend seeing the loose trilogy: first Days of Being Wild, then In the Mood For Love, and then 2046. I can't pick between the first two; they're both so good. 2046 is interesting and it's in the same vein, but it's a slight second favorite. Just tonight, I watched Tampopo. SUCH a great movie. It's about much more than noodles. It's a love affair with food and with old movies. And so funny. But I have to disagree with the pick of Raise the Red Lantern. Left me cold.

Brilliant British film - and yes, it requires subtitles because the cockney is so thick. “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” – based on the Allen Sillitoe short story.
