Any other foreign film lovers out there?  

The Lives of Others, Reconstruction, Motorcycle Diaries, A Very Long Engagement, Camille Claudel, Facing Windows, The Barbarian Invasions, L'Augerge Espanogle, Russian Dolls, Goodbye Lenin, The Story of the Weeping Camel, Amelie, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

I also have a thing for well made documentaries, "The End of Suburbia" being my most recent favorite.

Oh, and Anne of Green Gables.   :oops:

Really....no . Sorry.

The most foreign I have been able to relate to was Babel. Which I still couldnt really. It was really well put together and what not, I just didnt care for it.

The really good non-American films are difficult to find without effort because they tend not to get the same media coverage. The one's that get media coverage are the ones trying to aim themselves at American audiences, cuz that's where the money's at. These films tend to be crap. Also, a lot of popular American films are remakes of obscure foreign films. Classic example: Star Wars is a remake (rip off) of a Japanese film called Hidden Fortress. Similarly, a whole lot of westerns are remakes of Japanese samurai films.

Speaking of which, the Japanese are great with movies. Takashi Miike is God:

And then there's Bollywood... which is always good so long as you spark up a fat one before hand.

Really....no  It helps tremendously to watch foreign films on the big screen so you can read the subtitles easily and still see what the actors are doing.  *note*  Do NOT attempt to eat in bed while watching a foreign or you will be doing a lot of laundry the next day.  :wink:

As for American made movies, I loved 12 Monkeys, Traffic, Syriana, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Somewhere in Time, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, When Harry Met Sally, most of the John Hughes movies.  : D

And "Touching the Void" was probably the best docudrama I have ever seen.
