So, I recommend Carandiru for those who liked City of God (though this isn't AS good as it by any means) or who don't mind a bit of violence mixed in with their drama. Think Shawshank with less sugar coating and based on true happening.

yes, both carandiru and city of god are awesome movies.
i lived there in brasil for almost a year, it is amazing. those movies made me homesick.
