Favorite foreign movie

[MagicianBdotCom]

Pick ONE

Well a really great movie I saw recently was The Closet/Le Placard. Hilarious and original story. Better to watch the movie with no idea what it's about IMO. Makes it more of a funny surprise hehe. What movies you guys got?

Haven't watched a lot of "foreign" movies, but Run Lola Run is definitely worth mentioning.

Does Monty Python and the Holy Grail count?

or Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels

Amelie was awesome.. The Killer's an all time fav.. Hmm.. Run Lola Run, the princess and the warrior... Hmmm, the professional (hmmm, well it was made in the U.S. but by a foreign director with a foreign star), la femme nakita, adrenaline drive (awesome, quirky japanese movie), roshamon.
