Re: Ghost Dog, I was also obsessed with that beautifully shot driving scene (with Killah Priest in the background). I was listening to a lot of hiphop at that time. Usually a burned CD playing on a glowing car stereo.

That really is a great movie. It doesn’t seem to get much attention, so I’m happy to see someone mentioning it here.

Life is Beautiful is a great movie, except the end which is bland, typical, and (for me of course) ruined most of the feelings.

Yeah life is beautiful is such a good film. I seen someone saying Schindler list as a film that brings home the brutality of the Holocaust. But life is beautiful is better as it shows actually things don't work out and it's brutal. Where as Schindler's you know it's going to be ok.
The boy in striped pyjamas too has a brutal ending
Little Big Man (1970) and Dance with wolves (1990) . I saw them many times when I was a kid. It made me understand early that the adult world would be tough. I was also amazed with the landscapes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065988/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099348/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Un Prophète (2009 by J. Audiard). A weird gangster movie that makes you realize that even in the worst situation, even if you reached the bottom, there is a path to get out... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235166/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
Ghost Dog (1999). I was obsessed for months by the music and by the scene when Withaker steals the car... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
