  If so, I love that film! The Uncle Raya song is my all-time favorite! :)

    ..It is one of the richest, most complex of cinematic experiences. A sensual overload. It's impossible to accommodate the whole of it in a viewing or two.

    • The scene where she dances to that song is always on my mind. :) - Victor Khomenko 09:45:13 03/07/10 (2)

      Somehow I never consider it a "war" film, more a satire.

        I take your point. What about the rest of my list? Should I edit? ;-)

          Ran
          Tae Guk Gi
          Devils On The Doorstep
          Underground
          Fire On The Plain
          The Red And The White
          Come And See
          Platoon
          Viva Zapata
          Patton
          Apocalypse Now
          
          I think Ran definitely belongs on any such list, numbers 2 and 3 I don't know, 4 we already discussed, 5 and 6 I don't know.
          
          Come and See - I know it has strong following cult in the West, personally I think it is too manipulative, but still, a yes... Platoon I would keep with some reservations.
          
          Zapata - an interesting choice from the region rarely covered, actually there have been some interesting movies about the Mexican Revolution, Un dorado de Pancho Villa comes to mind.
          
          Patton - of course, and Apocalypse I never liked, but that must be just me! :)
