I see that one of my favorite UK shows is going to start Season 2 next week -- Green Wing.

And I'm wondering what else is out there worth watching?

Black Books is listed as not canceled/ended, so woohoo! Season 4? Is it me, or is BB kind of like an older version of the Young Ones?

 

[DaveW]

Nah the older version of Young Ones would be "Bottom"

 

[geargrrl]

The Red Green Show, from canada...”

UK Stuff (compiled by my housemates):

Jeeves and Wooster
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
Cracker
Prime Suspect
Teachers
Queer as Folk
Bottom
The Office
The Fast Show
Harry Enfield and Friends
Absolutely Fabulous
Trigger Happy TV
Little Britain
League of Gentlemen

I don't like all of those, but those are shows that a lot of people think are good.

one of the greatest fighting movies of all time, Ong Bak. this movie kicks some serious ass. and theres some crazy taxi driving thats really really bad(in the farfetched movie bad)

but the fighting is unreal. those guys had to be getting hurt making that film.
Officially called, Ong Bak; the thai fighter. no stunt doubles or strings attached they claim. fcukin nuts

This is a great movie. I've seen it 3 times, the first time at the Wellington Film Festival. The lead guy has skills.

Youre forgetting Trailer Park Boys from the Canucks

I agree with Ong Bak.... standard thai story line but great fighting. Some other asian films to check out are Green Planet, Old Boy, Born to Fight,Shaolin Soccer..... and some older ones to look for are A Chinese Ghost Story, The Killer, Bullet in the Head, A Better Tommorow.... I could go on and on and on.

 

[narlus]

don;t know much about foreign TV (slightly more than i know about 'murican TV) but there are a ton of great foreign movies available. head to netflix and go nuts.

 

[caboverpete]

Oh and don't leave out the samurai movies.... try any of the Lone Wolf and Cub series or check out a few of the Zatoichi series

 

[Da Peach]

Kung Fu Hustle

The Newsroom (CBC)

I dont watch that much TV, but right now we TIVO the show, HUSTLE, which comes on Saturday nights on AMC. UK show that's about a season ahead of us over there. Pretty good, IMO.

 

[DRB]

UK TV
Teachers from the UK
Obviously the Office. I think that the US Office is getting to be just as funny.

Cypher is a movie that hadn't been released in the US until recently (on DVD) it is really good.

Loopie, give Japanese TV a miss. Most of it fits into 2 categories- crap or weird. Most of the weird is crap too.
This guy is a huge star here at the moment. His name is Razor Ramon HG. What do you reckon HG stands for?

The Cartoon one?

We recently watched "Layer Cake" - a British "gangster" drama film. Good stuff. Kind of along the lines of "Snatch." I'd recommend it.

That is the single-most gayest picture I've ever seen in my life.

But not everything from Japan is bad - Battle Royal is a rad Japanese movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/

Funny, I watched that for the first time last night, it was very good. Classier than Snatch I thought.

Yeah. Classier would probably be a good description. I thought Snatch a bit funnier, though.
