    City of God - Cidade de Deus



    Never heard about this movie until when I watched it with some friends. Rather old movie (6 years) but very good movie.

    Unless you understand Portuguese you'll have to watch it in subtitles but still highly recommended.

    Anyone else see it?

      Highly recommend it myself. It's a gangster film and a good one at that. 8/10

            If you liked City of God, you should watch these two movies:

            Elite Squad

            City of Men

            Both are gangster movies with the same type of setting that are good, but not as good as City of God.

              Saw this the other day actually and thought it was a great movie also. Despite it being in a different language the story and characters were so well developed, that it made it easy for me to follow and understand what was going on.

                  Not exactly along the same lines, but another good foreign film that didn't get enough love is "Rabbit-Proof Fence". It's the story of two Australian Aboriginie girls who were put in a forced re-education camp (as was common in Australia and America with Native Americans as well) but manage to escape. It chronicles their journey through the Australian Outback trying to get home to their village. It's based on a true story and it's really a powerful film.. the child actors blew me away, they were incredibly natural.. I normally can't stand child actors.

                  But yeah, great movie. I know it's on NetFlix (not sure about instant), but definitely check if out if you get the chance. Good movie to watch with your girl as well... you'll get some "emotional nookie" out of the deal most likely and still enjoy the movie haha..

                      One of my favorite films. I'm about to watch the series that followed along, City of men. You can stream it from netflix.

                        Saw it when it came out in Theaters a few years ago. Excellent film. It really shows what life is like in the grug infested "Favelas" of Brazil. Elite Squad was good too because they showed a group of Elite police officers fight against the drug dealers.
