Favourite Forgien Film

[Icehearted]

Cinema Paradiso

I wish there were American movies that moved me as much.

 

[AvsJoe]

I'm Canadian so technically American films are foreign. So I guess Pulp Fiction would be my favourite.

But If you mean non-North American films then Perfect Blue scores highest. Battle Royale and Shaun of the Dead are close runners-up.

 

[Candlejack]

My three favorites are Oldboy, Spirited Away, and Pan's Labyrinth. Then again, I don't watch too many foreign movies.

 

[Small Waves]

OT: Pan's Labyrinth was really good. Call it over-rated, but I saw it theaters and it looked fantastic on that big screen.

I'm with you on that. Also Princess Mononke, if Studio Ghibli films count.

I actually find PM to be underrated by Ghibli standards. I've seen Kiki, Totoro, Howl, Spirited Away, and Grave of the Fireflies on many a list of the best Ghibli films. Princess Mononoke was adored and was many peoples favorite back when it came out but half a decade later it's becoming ignored.

However, it's still loved by lots of people and Porco Rosso continues to get the shaft and remains the unsung and severely underappreciated masterpiece.

 

[CNKFan]

District 13 was a pretty cool French action film. It even had one of the guys that invented parkour in it.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Densha Otoko was a great movie (Also goes by the translation of Train Man)

 

[XT]

le samourai.

 

[UltraParanoia]

Seven Samurai

Yes, throw Yojimbo in as well.

 

[Helmet]

I will cast another vote for Pan's Labyrinth, and I fucking loved Let the Right One In. I recommend that to everybody.

 

[Haydn Beck]

Battle Royal. [REC] was pretty damn special too.

 

[HonorableChairman]

While I disagree with the notion that non-American films are inherently superior, I will say that JCVD and Kung Fu Hustle are some of my favorite movies, along with nearly anything by Studio Ghibli.

And Survive Style 5+ gets an honorable mention.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Franck Vestiel's Eden Log, Tarkovsky's Solaris/Stalker/The Mirror... Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Murnau's Nosferatu... and REC. All fantastic.

 

[Bailos]

I'll have to cast my vote for Curse of the Golden Flower. Only movie where I've seen a father beat his son to death with a solid gold belt. Seriously.

 

[Cptn_Squishy]

OT: Pan's Labyrinth was really good. Call it over-rated, but I saw it theaters and it looked fantastic on that big screen.

I'm with you on that. Also Princess Mononke, if Studio Ghibli films count.

I don't see why it wouldn't...but i digs me some 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Du Er Ikke Alene. It's just beautiful.

Let The Right One In follows as a close second.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Let the Right One In by far. Then comes the Baadar Meinhof Complex, then Tokyo Gore Police.

 

[Jing the Bandit]

1990's Cyrano de Bergerac, hands down.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Definitely:

Pan's Labyrinth

followed by:

The Orphanage

Guillermo del Toro is a true genius

 

[ScottocS]

I watched Children of Men with subtitles. Does that count?

Certainly enjoyed that movie
Did a study on that in Religion and Philosophy Class.

Other than that I would have to say Kung Fu Hussle was well worth the laugh.
Had the guys who did most of the stunts and moves/choreography in the matrix in it. xD
