Movies I consider the best.
My list is not for people who watch mainstream. If you satisfied with propaganda its not my problem. Movies have to reflect on society not private life experiences. In addition there should be no restrictions on showing private or public life as it normal for mainstream.

- DirectorCurtis HarringtonStarsSylvia KristelChristopher CazenoveOliver TobiasMata Hari is a beautiful dancer of Dutch origin working in Paris. It is August 1914 and war between France and Germany seems imminent. However, she accepts an invitation to travel to Berlin as part of a show.I was really surprized by movie and director and all subtle messages they managed to make. Have no choice but claim this flick best of everything. Sure, as we dont have freedom of speech there are plenty of restrictions but I am old enough to read between the lines.
- DirectorJust JaeckinStarsSylvia KristelShane BriantNicholas ClayAfter a injury leaves her husband paralysed, Lady Chatterly is torn between her love for her husband and her physical desires. With her husband's consent, she seeks out other means of fulfilling her needs.This movie shows us that, no matter what, private needs dominate and everything else is just a cover.
- DirectorTinto BrassStarsFrank FinlayStefania SandrelliFranco Branciaroli1940s Venice. After twenty years of marriage, a retired art critic and his younger wife feel their passion is waning. To help her shed her inhibitions and rekindle their relationship, the professor records his sexual fantasies in a diary.Comparision between public and private ends in bedrooms and director, Tinto Brass, never fail to visually guide. I just cannot comprehend all this flow, simple in execution, stunning in results.
And on a top of this most of his flicks are excellent. - DirectorChi-Ngai LeeStarsTakeshi KaneshiroMirai YamamotoKippei ShînaKabukicho is a forgotten world. A place where people of different tongues and races meet, where they fight against each other to gain money, power and territory. The struggle which never ends. Based on a dangerous love story which unfolds a dangerous town.At one point I watched this every day to absorb music and visuals. Finally cool down but have to mention usual restrictions typical for Japan.
- DirectorMitsuru MeikeStarsKyôko HayamiKikujirô HondaYukijirô HotaruSachiko Hanai is a call girl. One day she is caught up in a gunfight and is shot in the forehead. Instead of killing her, the bullet in her head gives her psychic powers. She also accidentally comes into possession of a cylinder containing George W. Bush's finger, whose fingerprint is designed to launch a nuclear missile, and international spies are soon chasing her.Strange title but I always take chances on Japanese movies and this one has imagination, low budget, visuals, sex etc--everything working class man is looking for and its basically science fiction placed in 2003.
- DirectorRobert van AckerenStarsGudrun LandgrebeMathieu CarrièreHanns ZischlerEva, an upper-class housewife, frustratingly leaves her arrogant husband and decides to enter the call girl business. She lets Yvonne, a prostitute, teach her the basics and both set out for prey together, until Eva starts an affair with Chris, who turns out to be a call boy, as well. Consequently, she moves into his penthouse, large enough for both to offer their services separately.German movie hiding behind international title. Took me sometime to figure out why is this and why is that but no visible big conflicts between public and private and the message is--we do what we have to do to survive.
- DirectorClaude MulotStarsJosephine Jacqueline JonesJosé Antonio CeinosEmiliano RedondoSpanish actor Jose Antonio Ceinos stars as a down-and-out sculptor, whose inspiration returns with the strange appearance of a beautiful, mysterious black muse.Quite simple in everything but reality bites and this title never will be eligible for any award. And as a period piece its ok.
- DirectorMilos FormanStarsWoody HarrelsonCourtney LoveEdward NortonThe story of controversial pornography publisher Larry Flynt, and how he became a defender of free speech.Life in USA as is. If you are on a bottom you have as much choice as dead fly.
- DirectorJ. Michael MuroStarsMike LackeyBill ChepilVic NotoA liquor store owner sells alcoholic beverages to homeless people, unaware of what the bottles actually contain: toxic brew.Shouldnt claim its the best but as I lived in New York memories prove its reality.
- DirectorNicholas MeyerStarsMalcolm McDowellMary SteenburgenDavid WarnerH.G. Wells pursues Jack the Ripper to the 20th Century when the serial murderer uses the future writer's time machine to escape his time period.I have to admit seeing it first on mainstream cable but it trying to show and prove nothing is new under the sun.
- DirectorKevin CostnerStarsKevin CostnerWill PattonLarenz TateA nameless drifter dons a postman's uniform and bag of mail as he begins a quest to inspire hope to the survivors living in post-apocalyptic America.Not really great film but has convincing message fitting my mentality.
- DirectorAgnieszka HollandStarsSolomon PerelMarco HofschneiderRené HofschneiderA boy in Nazi Germany, trying to conceal that he is Jewish, joins the Hitler Youth.World war II with all kinds of twists but it shows me there is no such thing as as truth or lie.
- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsNathaniel BrownPaz de la HuertaCyril RoyAn American drug dealer living in Tokyo is betrayed by his best friend and killed in a drug deal. His soul, observing the repercussions of his death, seeks resurrection.Strange movie but , somehow, I like it partially because it is Tokyo, my favored city. Some new ideas.
- DirectorWojciech HasStarsZbigniew CybulskiIga CembrzynskaElzbieta CzyzewskaUpon finding a book that relates his grandfather's story, an officer ventures through Spain meeting a wide array of characters, most of whom have a story of their own to tell.Black and white obscure movie first I had seen in about 1967 and freaking 40 plus years later I still watch it and bought extra copies too. And if I add the book was written some 200 years ago and movie is from Poland its all doesnt make sense.
- DirectorOldrich LipskýStarsKarel FialaRudolf DeylMilos KopeckýStraight shooting Lemonade Joe cleans up Stetson City, in this musical parody of early Westerns, after shooting the pants off villain Old Pistol. Joe's endorsement of Kolaloka lemonade as the refresher that assures deadly aim, convinces the Arizona sin-town to abstain from alcohol. But Trigger Whiskey maker Duke Badman's brother the devious gunslinger Hogofogo, comes to save his sibling's saloon from Joe's allies, father and daughter temperance revivalists, the Goodmans. Based on famous Czech parody novel from the 1940s and its various stage adaptations.This is kinda called Horse opera and its parody and comedy and really stupid but done professionally.
