Thread: Your Best FOREIGN Film EVER??

Let the Right One In is a bit overrated, but it's definitely worth watching.

Pan's Labyrinth is my favourite foreign film.

I've heard good things about the Trois Couleurs trilogy; I'm planning to watch Blue tonight and White and Red tomorrow.

City of God is an excellent movie.

There's a French one called Amelie which I absolutely hated, but you might like it. Worth a try.

Battle Royale. One of my faves; it's about a group of school children that are drugged and taken to a remote island. They're then tasked with taking part in the "Battle Royale program", which is pretty much a killing game. The last survivor wins. It might seem gratuitous . . . and it is, but I loved it.

Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Grave of the Fireflies, Akira.

Kung Fu Hustle is quite funny.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

I remember watching Solaris when I was about twelve. Loved it.

I've Loved You So Long. Never seen it; heard great things about it.

Thanks for that Bruno.
Nice list there.
You definetely on a colour roll there..haha
Let the Right One In..is that political?

Let The Right One In is basically a vampire movie, but not in the way you'd expect. It's about a young Swedish boy who's a bit of an oddball, gets bullied quite a lot. He befriends this equally odd girl, and it just goes on from there, exploring their dark but sweet relationship.

The title does sound kinda political actually .

Fahrenheit 451

Interesting although when you do look at the movie and you think of the title they actually have no correlation whatsover.

I assume the title means "be careful which vampire you invite into your room". Let the right one in.

Ah.
Now it makes sense.
I did think something else though..
''I would not let anyone in I do not know let alone a vampire''

Very goo films indeed.

I enjoyed those two you mentioned in your first post, Nacian. I also enjoyed "Mongol," a semi-historical film about Genghis Khan and his rise to power. It was spoken supposedly in "authentic Mongolian." I don't care; it made a great action film, and could be considered an Asian "300."

beanlord I have never heard of it..it looks impressive.
So was the cast also mongolian?

Well, seeing as they were all East Asian, I would say that they had some Mongol in them.

LOL, what's foreign to you might not be foreign for others. This is a worldwide forum!

Anyway, movies from countries other than my own that I have enjoyed include "Black Orpheus" and "Cidade de Deus/City of God" (Brazil), "Hand in Hand" (England), "Salaam Bombay!" (India), "Grand Slam" (Italy), and "The Harder They Come" (Jamaica).
