The Le Mans movie from the 70s (?) was pretty good, as I remember it. Mind you, haven't watched it in over a decade.

Have Irreversible and the Korean trilogy, "Sympathy for Mr Vengeance"; "Oldboy"; and "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" to watch in the next week or so. Have heard Irreversible has the potential to make you feel very uneasy. Oldboy is very highly rated over here,so that'll be an interesting watch.

The Italian Job (original!)

Oldboy is fricken awesome.
Lady is good, but not as good as Oldboy.
I can't remember Mister very well, will have to watch it again someday.

Agreed. That movie was somewhat a disappointment but that chase scene was certainly worth watching.

Anyone planning on seeing Salt, don't. It's a pile of crap and probably the most un-original film I've ever seen.

The French Connection is a series of cool chases

I have Irresversible. Have only watched a bit but it is a tough film to get through for sure. Highly rated by critics but frowned upon by the general audience. I had a bit of a discussion with a friend who believed such films shouldn't be made as they are not productive. I for one believe art in any form should be encouraged but don't exactly feel like watching the movie. I might get around to watching it some day, you never know, just to see the kind of reactions it brings on me. Will certainly love to hear your thoughts on Irreversible. I was zooming past my copy of Oldboy just last week and the first scene I came across was the protagonist eating a live Octopus. Creepy.

Urgh, I've seen people doing this on Discovery. Nauseating.

Common in Sushi thingies, right?

Watched Irreversible.. nice soft porn. Loved the extended 20 minute (?) sex sequence between the bombshell and the skeleton.

The rape scene was pathetic. Just a film which got famous for being notorious.

Not exactly car races, but it is pretty much the ultimate chase movie imo. So great, and genuinely frightening at times. Has stood the test of time pretty well also.

Saw a bit of that a while ago, thought it was quite intriguing. Will have to look out for it now I've got the name of it. Thanks.

Saw Soul Kitchen yesterday. Decent enough pap. Moritz Bleibtreu (sic?) excellent as always.

I really enjoyed this one..Fatih Akin is one of my favourite directors..its amazing because his last few films were so unlike this...I really didnt expect him to make a film like this

The Korean revenge trilogy by Chan Wook Park

If I was ever asked to provide an argument for the power of cinema, my answer would be Oldboy

NZTailender · 19-08-2010, 02:07 PM

Second the Bourne trilogy. Each movie has at least one decent chase scene.

Death Race might be up your alley. Mindless, but fun.
