Best foreign film

[Malak]

Seriously, Kung Fu Hustle is the best foreign film ever. I just watched it again, been a while. This movie is great. It's the Chinese Matrix.

QFT.

There's others, too, Y tu mama tambien (Mexico), Amores Perros,(Mexico) Carandiru (Brazil).

Really, though, City of God is really good.

Holy crap who let you in? My goodness, I've been gone like 8 months and people died and somehow you got unbanned... I don't know this place anymore.

Kung Fu Hustle was fun, but these are all better movies:

The Killer
Yojimbo
Wings of Desire
Three Colors Trilogy (Blue, White, Red)

La Femme Nikita is up there as well.

Not a happy movie, but a very good one.

I second these as well:
Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run)
Amelie
La Femme Nikita

and I forgot above:
The Kingdom (miniseries)
Insomnia (not the US remake)
Eat Drink Man Woman

oh and also I'm Not Scared was a great movie

 

[Quasmo]

Lola Rennt
All of Akira Kurisawa's films

I just watched Children of Men, and thought it wasn't that great, good cinematography though.
I think alot of Hayao Miazaki's film's are incredable as well.

Amelie is good as well, but it I wouldn't say it is anywhere near the best.

In The Mood for Love

 

[panipoori]

Harakiri
Seven Samurai
Ikiru
Hidden Fortress

I guess im partial to japanese flicks 😛

city of god and paradise now were also pretty good.
