Another good Braizilian flick is Carandiru. It's about a huge prison riot and aids epidemic in a Sao Paulo prison where 100+ unarmed men were shot dead. Based on a true story.
Wasn't impressed.
I thought it was better than Tropa De Elite. Cidade De Deus was a damn good movie though. It seems like those are the two big Brazilian flicks. Def. check out Meu Nome Nao E Johnny if you get a chance though. It's about a guy who sells a ton of drugs in Rio and then just goes and blows the money in Europe with his girl, and repeats this process while being caught, having to pay off pigs, and getting stuck in fucked up situations the whole way through. Probably one of my favorite movies.
And to add to my list:
Casino, Jackie Brown, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells, Four Rooms, Goodfellas.
