Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
A short introduction:
The last list I've done was 6+ months ago. The initial list had about 600 titles. Narrowing down to 101 was a pain in the a** because I knew there would be an unusually large proportion of films from France and Japan (as I love a lot of movies from both these countries). Hence, I have tried to allocate as many slots to as many countries as possible. With this thread, I hope to share with you the joy of foreign language movies. 101. La Antena (Esteban Sapir, 2008) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ena_poster.png 100. Cinema Paradiso (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1988) http://www.frontroomcinema.com/wp-co...a_paradiso.jpg 99.

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
Oh good, I love having a list to read through. :up: And I'm expecting this list, more than any other, to introduce me to a lot of films I've not heard of before.

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
The Orphanage is a very unsettling horror film, which I saw when I was about 12 years old. I think it was the first foreign film I ever saw, and therefore I have a very special relationship with it. My favourite film on your list so far.

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
Yeah great to see The Orphanage in the list, one of the best horror films in a long time, amazing film.

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
I really need to watch Princess Mononoke. I've got it on DVD, but was put off a bit by the underdeveloped story of Ponyo (even though it may be the most beautifully animated film I've ever seen).

Good Gad, so far, I've only seen about half of those films. Although you'll have to justify "Enter the Dragon" as a foreign film. I thought that came straight from Warner Bros. in Hollywood.

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
I'm with the dawg on this one. Dragon isn't a foreign movie in this context.
|
Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
:o I guess you're right lol. What was I thinking?!? Thanks for pointing that out, I'll replace it with Ghost In The Shell. :)

Re: Tyler's 101 Favourite Foreign Films
Ohh.. I love Battle of Algiers.
But I haven't seen most of the movies mentioned here. A little description would really help me spark my interest in some of them, atleast to get an idea of what the films are about. Sorry if it offends you in anyway, I know it's already a huge effort to make these lists. |

64. The Skin I Live In
http://service.torrentreactor.net/up...21605969_3.jpg Almodovar is a rare breed of a director who can pull off the most absurd of situations. While most other directors would surely have dismissed such bizarre storylines, Almodovar would have created a suspenseful movie where every dialogue hints at a plot point later on. This is total cinema - one must remain alert for fear of missing something out. 63. The Lives Of Others http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...er_anderen.jpg A movie which showed how the Eastern German police spied on political "enemies", with a heartbreaking conclusion. 62. Mother http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ilm_poster.jpg The best Korean movie Ive seen of recent years. Its impossible to guess whats comin'. A film worthy of Hitchcock... with twists and turns and stunning performances all round. 61. The Hole http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDRev...d%20review.jpg If there should be one, just ONE, Tsai Ming Liang movie that you have to see, that would be The Hole. Urban alienation. Absurdism. A bleak observation of city-dwellers of urban Taiwan, The Hole is about two residents connected only by a hole. The man spies on the woman living below. Its also a light-hearted musical with some catchy Grace Chang songs. 60. The House Is Black http://jurnalsegiempat.files.wordpre...ges1.jpg?w=750 A precursor to the Iranian New Wave, The House Is Black is a short film dedicated to lepers. Transcendental. |
