K guys im quoting myself here coz no one answered my bloody question!

When I think "foreign film," I'm usually thinking "foreign language film."

But that's just me.

thanx

in that case crouching tiger hidden dragon

Thought of two more:

Hana-Bi (Fireworks) (Takeshi Kitano, 1997)

&

C'est Arrive Pres De Chez Vous (Man Bites Dog) (Remy Belvaux, Andre Bonzel & Benoit Poelvoorde, 1992)

Seven Samurai
followed closely by
Jean de Florette

Yumi (Dreams)

The Seven Samurai is the best in my opinoin. Though still, there is no best, I love this movie. :)

If you liked The Seven Samurai, Then go rent Yumi(Dreams).. It was IMO Kurosawa's greatest film.

To Live

The Scent of Green Papaya

Amelie

Kikojiro

Shiri

The Road Home

I keep hearing about the The Seven Samurai. Something for me to look into.

i agree with sedai? i must have woken up in oppisite land this morning!

You're the first one I've seen in a long time list this. It really was a sweet movie.

Welcome to the forum chingutee. :)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is my favorite movie of all time so I'll have to go with that one. The mix of oddly artistic kung-fu and an incredibly moving story creates a visually stunning and involving movie.

Thanks.

I have only just recently got into watching foreign movies so i havent seen that many but the best ones i have seen so far are

Amelie
City of god (Cidade de Deus)
Amores perros
Goodbye lenin
Talk to her (Hable con ella )
Nuovo cinema paradiso
Run lola run (Lola rennt)
Love me if you dare (Jeux d'enfants )

You liked this movie? Didn't you find that the ending totally ruined the whole experience? When I first heard about this movie I thought it would be a mixture of Amelie and Secretary - and it was, right up until the last ten minutes. I could not get over how much the ending of this film made me feel; extremely depressed. But hey, that's just me...

Yeah, I thought Love Me If You Dare was a big disappointment too, though for me it derailed a lot sooner than the final ten minutes. That was certainly the worst part of the movie, but the whole thing was a mess, tonally speaking, and I thought a good premise was really wasted.

But I love all the other movies you listed, Jackassfan.

I guess we're talking about non-english language movies (otherwise I'd pick The Searchers 'cos it's foreign to me) so I'd go for -

À bout de souffle (1960, Godard)

Sonatine (1993, Kitano)

Jean de Florette/Manon des sources (1986, Berri)

City of God (2002, Meirelles)

Infernal Affairs (2002, Wai Keung Lau)

The Vanishing (1988, Sluizer)

Nikita (1990, Besson)

Ran (1985, Kurosawa)

The Bicycle Thief (1948, De Sica)

La Haine (1995, Kassovitz)

Wings Of Desire (1987, Wenders)

Shaolin Soccer (2001, Stephen Chow)

...and loads more. :)

Havent seen many foreign movies but i would probably say il postino was my favorite
