that prophet movie is that in reference to Khalil Gibran or a kung fu movie?

I don't think so.

It's a french movie of a guy in prison who gets forced to do things on behalf of a dominant gang inside.

Definitely.
I'm kind of in a slump with my Netflix lately.

looking for a specific genre?

action?
horror? (i plan on making a thread on this soon)


one movie i could think of off the bat is a movie called Promise, its a kung fu movie similar to House of Flying Daggers if you into that...something to watch with a female.

How many of those are good and would consider you a "must-see"

Serious question

Honestly, I watch more drama than anything, with the occasional thriller.
Most people think my movies are boring.

Like, above there are some movies that can be considered chick flicks (Tuesday After Christmas, After The Wedding, Sex and Lucia).
But I like the drama and acting and all that stuff.

So I'm not really into horror.

I don't watch too many kung fu movies.
Maybe a few classics like Five Fingers of Death and The Five Deadly Venoms.

Five Fingers of Death is interesting because you can see how Quentin Tarantino used it for certain things in his Kill Bill movies.

Definitely "Carlos: A miniseries"
Three 90-minute installments. It's based on the life of international terrorist Carlos The Jackal. You'd probably also love Mesrine.

Also Elite Squad (both parts).
That shyt is intense.

 

[pickles]

The girl with the Dragon tattoo (the swedish version)
Let the right one in (foreign version)

I know what you mean Five Fingers Of Death with Lo Lieh, alot of Lady Snowblood references in there as well, i'll see what i can find

 

[Remote]

And no, I still haven't gotten around to watching Kagemusha or The Seven Samuri.
They're like 60 years old and really long, drawn out movies. I just haven't had the time.
