Worst foreign film?

[LiquidGrape]

For all my study of the French language(4 yrs high school, and 2 semesters in college) I can only say 4 sentences in perfect french.
1) Where is the bathroom?(Most important)
2) I love cheese.(the second most important one)
3) My name is ###
4) I studied french in school.(I'm not kidding)

Hahaha, hey, I could've used all of those when I was in Paris last month.
Number #4 would've been especially effective for making people stop throwing dirty looks in my direction as I communicated in english or broken french.
- At least I got my vegetarian baguette without having to resort to gesturing.

I'm British and don't know many foreign films apart from the American ones, so I'm going with Sweeny Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street. It was a terrible adaptation of the original musical in my opinion, they overdid the violence and most of the actors in it weren't that good singers.

Yarasa Adam: Betmen.

Yes. A Turkish Batman movie. With... strippers and...
It... it just blows my mind.

Battle Royale takes a close second place, though.

Since I'm a foreigner to who are the vast majority of this forum, I feel that I'm entitled to nominate Dungeons & Dragons. But if I look at it from your point of view, there's a few Chinese films I could mention. I just don't understand the point of films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower, or The House of Flying Daggers -- while the setting, locations, costumes, and coreographies are sometimes be marvelous to look at, I find just about everything else generic and unappealing. Maybe it's the cultural differences, but I'm not able to take any of the drama, romance, or intrigue seriously. To me it's like there's a huge buildup in the beginning, then everyone's kung-fu fighting, and then everyone and their mother ends up miserable or dies. Aaand, that's it.

Might I suggest Hero to you? There's actually a point to that movie. It's also very beautiful from a cinematic standpoint. I also didn't really care for the other Chinese films you mentioned, but give Hero a try. The narrative style alone is probably worth it (the entire movie is a thrice-told story).

Saw it, I wasn't particularly impressed.

Edit:

I loved the Curse of the Golden Flower. Sure, it was way too long, but the scenery and the fighting made up for that, for me. Though if you love the settings, costumes, and coreographies in those films, but want a great story, then I'd watch Memoirs of a Geisha, if you haven't already.

Many of my friends went to see it. Said it was so-so. After reading a summary of the story, I'd say it's not my kind of film.
