i'm sure none of you have seen this film, but it's at your local blockbuster in the international section.

everyone needs to rent it

it's a dope flick.

I think i saw that once,whats it about?

an old scientist that steals the children from the local city because he has insomnia and uses their dreams to help him sleep. it's quite comical and directed very well. i'll attach a pic of the cover.

here...

ya i did see that...awhile ago,i thought it was funny

ur not right that often (sorry, force of habit) but u sure as hell are tonight...

wasnt City done by Alex Proyas? and ron perlman speaking french... it jus feels right... even if it is almost completely monosyballic

CITY OF LOST CHILDREN is simply one of the most imaginative movies i have seen. ever! its odd in the best ways. beautiful to look at too. go try to find the movie DELICATESSEN. it was done by the same people.! go now! seeeeek!

no, it was done by marc caro & jean-pierre jeunet (so says imdb.com) however dark city, which proyas did film, was an excellent movie too. i think that dark city should have been at least another hour long though.


that was one of the things that made the movie work though with the subtitles. you weren't forced to watch endless subtitles, but instead were given the freedom to watch the imagery.

you will learn that i am always right.

I just bought it on DVD! I was very excited. When i first saw it a few years ago they only had it subtitles..i dont mind subtitles when i can see them...but the subtitles were that greenish yellow that made my eyes water. I found one that was dubbed a year later but the tape got all screwed up when i spilled liquor on it...and FINALLY i have it on DVD! So now i can enjoy it any way i want. TEEHEE!

Wish I had a DVD player.

I got it on video though. And yes it is a very good film. I just love the green mist effects... it's really alive!!
The girl in that file is really cool too. She's got an adult actress's style. Good, in other words.

sorry. but this movie is ALL about those fleas!!! ;}

WEEEEEEE MIETTE!!!!!
-loved that movie so much when it first came out AND if you like it too go see Amelie! same director-

I enjoyed every one of their movies(caro & jeunet), City is probably the best and Alien Resurrection the weakest.
Very surreal and quirky, just the way I like it.

I played City of Lost Children on the PS, but haven't seen the film - I'll be sure to look out for it at Blockbuster!
