Depends what you are mostly into. Period/era-based films, romantic comedies, action, horror, musicals, animated or the tragic film... right at the end when the director decides to give the main lead or their love something tragic ala terminal cancer, die in a car crash, etc. at the end.

p.s. Good timing on this post as Amazon just started their Indie & International sale right now on films.

You're not the only one, I can't seem to find it as well.

Do yourself a favour and get it (at least rent it on Blu-ray). The cinematography is amazing. Be damned the reviews....I loved it and can't wait for the continuing story!

Yeah, the review on this site highly recommends Mongol. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.

I have that on Bluray, but I was somehow disappointed by two things. First of all, the first half on the movie was out of sync, and the second is that the Mei Ah watermark keeps appearing on the letterbox line once in a while. Other than those, it would have been perfect because the picture was really sharp and there were DTS HDMA 7.1 + PCM 7.1.

Don't throw any stones..... but I picked up Mongol on DVD from netflix because of the long wait........ GREAT movie.... will probably buy the blu-ray (probably the whole trilogy)

I haven't seen many but I enjoyed "Millions".

[katharsis]

German- Sophie Scholl, The Lives of Others, Die Welle, Baader Meinhof Complex (soon to be released)
French- La Haine, B13 (worth a rental / one time watch)
Spanish- Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage
Russian- NightWatch, DayWatch

Those are the ones I know have Blu-ray releases, if you don't mind to watch some on DVD let me know, I can name a ton more...

The Downfall!!! hands down. I absolutely loved that movie.
