You always did have great taste in films. Fassbinder and Victor Erice are both phenomenal filmmakers

No offense but naming movies in their native language when they aren't universally known as such is a douche move. Nobody calls City of God "Cidade de Deus" (unless they are Portuguese for you smartasses). Even hardcore movie snobs agree with this.


Yes, I know. I like to say the foreign titles, it's a douche-like quirk of mine.
