Re: Favorite Foreign Films
 

I wouldn't have thought you guys would have classed a British film as foreign.
I thought the term was 'Foreign Language Film" but nevermind.

Amores Perros,Mexico
Taxi para tres,Chile
Nikita,France
Ciudad de Dioa,Brazil
Das Boot,Germany
Stalingrad,Germany

I love how foreign the British are to you.

The OP did state that "foreign" in this context meant "released outside the U.S." and therefore English-language UK films counted as foreign. Bloody Yanks.

I can safely say that I haven't seen it.

I know, i just thought it was funny that he was the only one who included British films and that he included that many.
