Take note that I do have big grammar faults.
Also that Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited away) did Not make the list. Don´t get me wrong, I Love the movie and Hayao Miyazaki is more or less God when it comes to anime.

10.Sukeban Deka: Kôdo nêmu = Asamiya Saki
(Yo yo girl cop) Well I Love Matsuura Aya.
Her charisma is something you don´t see everyday. So what about the movie?
It´s a japanese so called “pop corn” movie, make yourself comfortable in your seat and enjoy the ride and the fun of it.

9. Frontier(s)
In the midst of the Paris riots in 2005, Xavier Gens made a brutal and remarkable horror movie. Frontier(s) can not only be seen as a torture porn, it can also, in some way bee seen as a warning for what Might be about to happen If the ever growing right wing moments across the globe continues. Don´t believe me? Neither did people back in 1930´s.

8.Furiizu mii (Freeze me)
About a womans revenge on her rapists.
Harumi Inoue, as Chihiro, is amazing as the frightened woman who later on gets her revenge. Not only has see lived with the rape, now she also gets taunted for the video (yes they taped the act) being sold. I say, they had it coming.

7.Mang shan (Blind mountain)
A demonic debut (from the director Yang Li) about trafficking. A must see, brutal - not neceserly violent.
Mang shan is aslowphased drama, but don´t let that keep you away from this movie, this is an really important movie and topic.
An extra plus for the movie is that the villagers are infact no acters, they are normal villagers.
You will feel for Bai (played by Lu Huang) and the movie won the FACE awards in Istanbul for it´s Human rights issues.

6. Somtum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRofMR1Bjps
An really funny action movie. Starring Nathan Jones (he is huge) and Sasisa Jindamanee - who actually is a national Muay thai champion. May not be as famus as Ong bak but a really great movie. Somtum is a spicy meal in Thailand and it makes Nathan goes on a rampage. Sasisa also stared in Kerd ma lui http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQYpqe9bD3U
(Born to fight) and that movie might have some of the craziest stunts I have ever seen. So why is that one not on this list? Becouse I had to put something else on this list, gotta have some comedies in the list, right?
5. Jisatsu sâkuru
(Suicide club)
This movie is… at first sight it is strange, really strange. But for me as a japanese filmfreak (yeah it´s ok to call me that) I see the dark specific japanese humor with a lot of people don´t understand. Some quotes from the movie?
-Kill yourself before you murder someone.
-That´s the spirit.
-Be a spirit.
And they all laugh, we who have seen the movie we might never fortet that scene.
Wanna check that scene out, here it is

And here´s the trailer

4.La vallée des fleurs
(Valley of Flowers)
An epic beautiful story about lust, death and life. Beautiful shot and Mylène Jampanoï is Amazing. You will understand when you see this.

3. Irreversiblé
Gaspar Noé made a movie that ends with an begining..or does it start with the brutal end? This is brutal, no matter how you see this movie. A movie that is most known for the 8 minutes long anal rapescene, so you know (or you maby don´t wanna know) how this movie will fuck you up.
It is, if you can see beyond the brutal scenes an poetik movie with some fascinating scenes. The taxiscene is just mindblowing. Be Warned, but see it if you haven´t.

2.Wo hu cang long
(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)
Another epic tale. Saw this 2 times in one day at the theaters and it made me cry, both times. The legendary stunt/fighting coordinator Woo-ping Yuen directed the amazing fightingscenes and yet today I have seen Nothing like it. It is poetry in motion. Jet Li was supposed to star as Li Mu Bai, he turned the offer down and made Romeo must die (ironichly it killed his career in some way). Chow Yun Fat was to star instead and as Woo-ping Yuen stated ”It´s easier for a actor to act with swords then a fighter to act”
Michelle Yeoh and Zhang ZiYi, there fight is breathtaking
4 oscars (a record it shares with a Swedish movie- Fanny & Alexander directed by Ingmar Bergman) as a foreign film. Should have won as the best movie also.

And, the # 1. It is Not a movie....it is.......
1. Martyrs
Actually this ain´t a movie, I call it a monster in moving pictures and sound.
We all have demons within ourself, a guilt we have to live with. But Martyrs is something that made me go back to write moviescripts. I can´t adress this enough, but the acting is simply AMAZING. I love you all for this. Give Morjana, Mylène an Jessie and Oscar or built an monument a statue - Anything. They All need a reward for there amazing performance.
