Aw f*ck.

 

City of God is a masterpiece of a film and Dirty Harry is..well...Dirty f*ckin Harry. I may have to debate this one with myself a for a while.

 

Edit: Sorry Harry, you may have been the original badass, maverick cop who just oozed cool but, in terms of brilliant cinema, City of God beats every film you've starred in. Yes, it's just that good. The directing, the characters, the setting, right down to the various situations in City of God will leave you speechless and sometimes uncomfortable (like when Li'l Zé corners the kids). A masterpiece of a film. which reminds me I must see it's sequel; City of Men.

 

Sorry Harry. sad.gif

Enough people will vote for Harry, I'm going for God.

 

Because it was original. I hadn't seen a similar story told on screen, so this was just something new to me, that also happened to be damn good. Great acting, great stories, and an ending that made me frown and shake my head, but not in a bad way. And the film that came after this, from the people who brought you City of God, was also f*cking great. Elite Squad...check it out.

Dirty Harry will automatically get my vote against any film no matter how amazing they are, like City of God. I just hold that movie close to me. City of God however is still a very great film. I enjoy every second of it. It has dramatic, comedic and some times f*cked up (note the scene that Nixon just talked about). Its fantastic.

 

Plus we can't have GBU AND Dirty Harry lose this soon.

No matter how much Dirty Harry changed cop thrillers, I liked City of God more.

 

That's all I can really say on that one, nothing else to it forme.

I null voted. I just don't want to be part of something that knocks either one of these films out.

Hang the f*ck on here. So when you have seen both films you null but when you have only seen one you still vote.

f*ck off.

 

I am going with City of God. As awesome as Dirty Harry was I just think City of God is a f*cking masterpiece and such a visually engulfing film.

Cidade de Deus is one of my favourite films of the decade. It's such a well-crafted and stylish film (I love the scene in which we see the history of the flat) with a strong story to-boot. From the innocent Brazillian children playing football in the favela, to their ascension to adulthood and the dangers associated with the little choices they have to make. It shows you an experience, you may never have seen, had this movie not been released. "A kid? I smoke, I snort. I've killed and robbed. I'm a man."

f*ck off.

Only 9 posts and already 23 votes between the 2 movies...majority probably only seen one of the 2. I've seen both.

 

I voted City of Gods. Wasn't interested the first time I heard it but friends insisted I check it out coz I'm not much of a foreign language go-er but this film takes the cake. If you're thinking of starting to watch some foreign language films, this is a good place to start. It is a classic, in my opinion, among other foreign films. Sorry Harry...too much action and intensity for me.

Lund managed to get some impressive acting out of the inexperienced children in City Of God, which is a proud achivement for anybody in directing. But Andy Robinson's portrayal of Scorpio swings this one for me.

You know, I love Harry Callahan, hence why I picked him the "Best Movie Characters" topic last year. I love the film, Clint Eastwood is on top form and it's a good thriller that you can become engrossed in. But watching City Of God recently, I was mightily impressed by it, it's a film of such grand scope and like someone else said, each actor put in a great performance, even though they had very little experience. I think I may swing towards City of God for this one...but no matter which film goes through, I will be happy.

 

Edit: Oh, a nice close poll here... smile.gif

As highly acclaimed as City of God is, I just didn't get much out of it. That's not to say I think it was bad as I thought it was very well directed and all. Just not my cup of pee.

 

On the other hand Dirty Harry entertained the f*ck out of me, so to vote against it would just be foolish of me here.

Despite City of God being more recent, it had much more of an impact. Dirty Harry is awesome, but City of God just blew me away, I was never expecting much out of it.
