Yes, I do. It was great!
Do you by any chance remember the name? :doh:
"Welcome To Dongmakgol" perhaps?
Don't know that one. I was thinking 태극기 휘날며. Kick-ass film, IMO. 쉬리 was good, too, but fiction. Then there was...shit...what was the name of that one? :think:

Hard to say, because I don't really think about a film being in another language when I watch it. But...if this hasn't been mentioned before...I remember Man Bites Dog as being kinda fun.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I watched "The Fire Within" the other day - an early film by Louis Malle - it was quite good.

I had to check loads of the films before putting them on that list above because it was hard to remember if they were in English or not. :hehe:
