I really love foreign films.
To give you an idea of the kind of stuff I like:

Ichi The Killer, Old Boy, Tokyo Gore Police, Juan Of The Dead, etc etc.

There are a few I saw a few years back and cant remember
the names that i would like to watch again.

One was about a guy that receives a phone call on his cell phone and they tell him they will deposit a large sum of money into his bank account if he will perform some task. he does it. But then they keep offering money to do stranger and stranger things. Anyone know the name of this movie?

Anyone got any others I should watch?

Cool thanks. I have seen REC, Tae Guk Gi, and Stalingrad. But not the others.

I really like the sick twisted story line stuff too if anyone wants to suggest some of those.

Weird thing - it was in the telly 20 minutes after I posted that - so naturally I had to rewatch and its still great! Such good dialog and when you know the other films mentioned you will know the actors (like any Dane would and that only makes it funnier).

One little thing - there is a joke about the in Denmark quite famous author Tove Ditlevsen, in the movie one of them finds a torn up book so you cant see the T in Tove, and Ove being a boys name, so each of them makes an ass out of talking about Ove Smile Pretty sure it will be lost in translation.

Enjoy!
