As the title says. The reason I ask is because I think the majority of people mostly watch american movies, and perhaps some people are not aware that there is a major film industry outside the americas.

videogame Splinter Cell Conviction. Fun fact |
It was a really great exchange, I've never heard of most of these movies, thank you all very much.

H-8, The World's End, Vozvrachenye and Jan Švankmajer's Faust are my top recommendations

That is opening a can of worms. Would saying "way to many to list" be a valid answer?!!!

I don't know about best, but my favorite European films are as follows:
1) Stalker (1979, Soviet Union) 2) Persona (1966, Sweden) 3) The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966, Italy) 4) Man With a Movie Camera (1929, Soviet Union) 5) Come and See (1985, Soviet Union) 6) Andrei Rublev (1966, Soviet Union) 7) The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957, United Kingdom) 8) A Clockwork Orange (1971, United Kingdom) 9) Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965, Soviet Union) 10) Le Samourai (1967, France) 11) Holy Motors (2012, France) 12) M (1931, Germany) My list is pretty Soviet-centric I must admit :) |
Amelie - it's a really fun French film ;)

Re: What are the best European movies in your opinion?
I'm in America, but I think the ratio is better in Europe. Also keep in mind they wouldn't be showing bad foreign movies on TCM (as well as other outlets)... I consider Russia or the USSR a part of Asia, but culturally (movies), I guess I'll add them here.. But I won't include movies from the UK. I'll also omit movies by European directors whose entire movie is in English (My Dinner With Andre, for example)..

Re: What are the best European movies in your opinion?
Tarkovsky's 3rd to 6th movies (made in Russia/former USSR)
2001 A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange (both made in the UK, which is in Europe) Bicycle Thieves, 8 1/2, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (made in Italy, although the last two were in English and used American actors) Fanny and Alexander (made im Sweden) Lots of big budget Hollywood movies tend to be made by multinational crews with lots of Europeans plus lots of shooting done in Europe. So it becomes a bit complicated to classify movies as American or European (Kubrick's films after he moved to the UK for example) |
