"Your favourite foreign movies...."

Like the favourite movie in general thread. Rules are the same but its exclusively for foreign films. If this thread takes off I shall update it every now and again until we find the movie forums favourite foreign film. By way of seeing which movies ranks highest in a majority of peoples lists. Then we'll narrow it down to a top 10.

My top 10 are:

1)Ichi the killer
2)Sonatine
3)Das experiment
4)Audition
5)No mans land
6)The untold story
7)Funny games
8)Evil dead trap
9)Hard boiled
10)kagemusha

Evil dead trap: 1
Funny games: 1
Das experiment: 1
Audition: 2
Delicatessen: 1
Amelie: 2
Brotherhood of the wolf: 2
ichi the killer: 2
A beautiful life: 1
hard boiled: 2
the killer: 1
city of god: 1
Y tu mama tambien: 1
shogun assassin: 2
man bites dog: 1
Belleville Rendezvous: 1
run lola run: 2
battle royale: 1
no mans land: 1
the untold story: 1
Sonatine: 1
kagemusha: 1
spoorloos: 1
zatoichi: 1
tetuso: 1
das boot: 1
city of lost children: 1
Yojimbo: 1


By the way I now think that this should be a 'how many people mention a certain film' rather than a top 10 list thingy. So I will now just keep updating how the amount of mentions a film has reveived. You can still list as many movies as you want but it isn't a top 10 list. Hope everyone undertstands *cue condescending voice* :)

Anyway. Eventually we will be to find a top 10 as more and more people vote. By the way if someone has 'mentioned' more than 1 film, each film that they mentioned gets a vote.

This is also a useful place to find new films to watch :)

Liked Belleville Rendezvous and Run Lola Run, can't think of any others at the moment.

City of God
Yu Mami Tabian
The Killer
Hard Boiled
Brotherhood of the wolf
Ichi the Killer

Amelie and A Beautiful Life.

Everyone must go see these.

Ha. So true.

Man Bites Dog: Awesomely funny black comedy, and then they hit you with a series of scenes that make you feel very guilty and very wrong for having laughed at the first hour.

Toy Story.




America is foreign to me.

> Oh and "foreign" is misleading and vaugue. Not Hollywood?
> None english language?

Nope not hollywood. Dubbings allowed though.

> Spoorloos (The Vanishing. Far darker than the remake with an awful,
> uncomfortable ending)

You should see in a glass cage. *shudders*

Yes and no :)
Im just interested to see if anyone likes the foreign movies that I like. By the way I think Amelie's a charming little film but it just didn't make my top 10.

Battle Royale

Shogun Assasin (I'd just lie to point out that I was a fan of this long before it showed up in Kill Bill vol 2; In fact my mates at school laughed at me when I bought it because they had never heard of it. Who's laughing now, eh? well not me cos its not that funny, but you get the point)*



*note to self - that was far too long for a bracket


Edit - I forgot Zatoichi - thats pretty good too
