Surely foreign counts as anything that isn't British ;)

Hasving said that, I'm a big fan of City of Lost Children and Delicatessen, so I'd have to plump for one of those (dunno which one though!).

TBH, I wouldn't have the faintest idea what country any film I watch "originates" from- since I don't care - I'm interested in the film, not where it was made - but i would guess they are all US or UK.

There's loads, anything by Zhang Yimou for instance. But, one (oldie) that really stands out is Wim Wenders' 'Der Himmel ueber Berlin'/'Wings of Desire'

Aside from the 'ring' films I don't believe I've seen any, so I guess I'll have to stick with them.

Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" (The Bodyguard) - the film that inspired "A Fistful of Dollars".

Halcyon 05-07-2005 12:48

Re: What is your favourite foreign film?
 
I particularly liked "L'Equipier", a recent French film that I went to see a couple of months back which takes place on the french coast of Brittany and in a lighthouse.

True, in fact almost everything by Kurosawa is worth a look.

Amelie, I love that film

There's a French film that's stuffed to the rafters with fit guys. Something to do with the Foreign Legion I think. There was also a film with "enfante" in the title that I liked - set during the war.

I don't remember titles! :blush:

allieyoung666 05-07-2005 19:42

Re: What is your favourite foreign film?
 
There is one I have seen quite recently and it is two guys and one is laid on a mine, and the film ends with the other guy dead and he is just laid on this mine, but can I heckers like remember the name of the film. HELP!!!!! I know is was something to do with croatia/serbians and it was based on their civil war.
