New social group for movie fans...

Pixote(1981). Brazilian drama that is brutal, realistic and is uncompromising in its depiction of streets kids becoming criminals with the help of corrupt adults. Directed by the great Babenco, it became his break out film. Even today it still packs a wallop.







Berzin, I guess as a moderator you are given more latitude for non DR related stuff?

Thanks for the tip. I will download this movie tonight and see it. i love movies of these types: city of dios and carindiru.
I am a big fan of movies so for this reason alone I have a home theater in my house. I also have many fine movies with spanish subtitles. If anyone in santiago needs to see my movies, just bring a usb drive or a external hard drive. i will let you have some of my favorites movies.
Another movie that will make you sit still for 2 hours is: salam Bombay. This movie is about the street kids of india and the struggles they have to face in daily life.
Want a pakistani movie made in Norway? Izzat with english subtitles will thrill you. Its in Norwegian language.
South african movie: tsotsi. This is about the street kids in south africa.
Excellent movies that no one talks about.

This is awesome.

The upcoming months are going to get colder.

I need to fill up my queue on blockbuster.com

Where is the popcorn?

Ok, I give up, how do I join your movie social club?

Click here DR1 Dominican Republic Forums then find the icon that says "Join this group"

Or hang on and I'll invite you. Ummm it says you are already a member.

This group is "public" and anyone can join.

The social group is not part of this main message board so not all the rules apply there.

I think this thread was opened in order to let people know about this new social group not to discuss non DR related subjects

I am so glad berzin opened up this social group. I already have a few movies to watch, thanks to you guys. Tonight is the downloading night.

Wait a minute, how do I join?

I just found group this...and am interested in it.


I love movies. Has anyone seen the French film La Haine????



It's a must see...



Mr. Lu

why are no simple links to joining a group? I see no icon or links to go to social group section. Only the link you guys have provided. No wonder people are not joining the groups in good number.
