That is all I can think of at the moment, will think of more... |
Amelie
Les Diaboliques |
woman in the dunes and black rain [kuroi ame] are my current favorites.
probably well over half of my top 100 list was 'foreign' so i cant be bothered reproducing it all here. if i had to pick an all time favorite it would be akira, which is simply my favorite movie ever, or at least, the one i seemingly never tire of seeing. for non japanese 'foreign' films i probably go with 'wild strawberries' [sorry holden, seventh seal is great but i like strawberries better] and the animated short 'battle of kerzhenets' by yuri norstein. i also remember 'report on the party and the guests' quite fondly and would like to see more films by jan nemec. |
All of Hayao Miyazaki's films are great!
|
Y Tu Mama Tambien
El Otro Lado de La Cama He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not Amelie Lucia y el Sexo Intacto |
Just bumping this up.
|
k i was wondering, is a film foreign if the director is foreign or if it's in a foreign language?
|
City of God is excellent.
|
Seven Samurai
Run Lola Run |
a couple more....
Run, Lola Run To Live Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (hey, I'm a sucka for kung-fu and Zhang Ziyi) |
Thought of a couple more:
37.2 Le Matin (Betty Blue) Le Notti Bianche (White Nights) |
Someone please help! I'm trying to remember / find a movie. It's from the mid 1980's,
English, it's about a German Shepard that lives in the city (in an alley or very small yard) not treated very well, a family friend loves the dog, takes it on "vacations" and for some reason the family won't let him keep it. That's all I remember, I don't even remember how it ends. I think it may be titled You Mean The World To Me. Help! |
Kung Fu Forien
The Best Forien film of all time is Iron Kung Fu
|

There is no way to pick 1 and not 100. so I'll just do 10:D 1.The cup 2.Babettes Feast 3.Jean de Florette (w/manion of the spring) 4.Raise the red lantern 5.My life as a dog 6.Eat,drink,man,woman 7.Kikijurio 8.My beautiful lauderette 9.Life is beautiful 10.Artemisia Gosh, only 10, I feel like a mother playing favorites. There are soooo many good ones, and more coming everyday, it seems. So much tape so little time.:bawl: I also like Babette's Feast and Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring a great deal. But for favorite foreign film I'd probably have to go with Kurosawa. I think Throne Of Blood is my favorite of his. |
