Pans Labyrinth and The Orphanage - Spain - Guillermo del Toro.

..both really great movies! Pan's Labyrinth was really well-done, too. I liked how all the creatures were produced (it's the same guy that did the Hellboy series).

I have found myself from time to time looking for foreign gems as well. I was really pleased when I watched The Twilight Samurai (Japan). It's slower paced, and based more on the story than any action (there isn't much at all) but I loved the movie. I felt connected to the main character.

That was a beautiful movie. I watched it a few times.
As well as Yôji Yamada's previous movie The Hidden Blade which dare I say I loved even more! They are both in my category of a masterpiece.
And anyone who likes those two movies will love When The Last Sword is Drawn, incredible.

Fitzcarraldo (German) - Klaus Kinski, total nutcase, total genius , its about a man who wants to build an opera house in the jungle. You gotta see this, its brilliant^^.

Das Leben der Anderen (German) - about a stasi agent who gets absorbed by the lives of people he is wiretaping. I did not see it but it is supposed to be very good according to some friends, it won an Oscar and has an imdb rating of 8.5.

Dude... How could you forget about Ondskan? It even got Oscar nomination for the best foreign film in 2004.

Lola Rennt was also a great movie

But now back on topic.
Good polish movies to watch:

Dekalog (you can also check other works by this director, the Three Color series: Blue, White, Red; The Double Life of Veronique; Short Movie About Killing etc.)
Dzień Świra

This are all deep movies, but what we do best is comedies.

Seksmisja
Kiler
Chłopaki Nie Płaczą

I have also provided the IMDB links so you can check out the english titles there.

Sobachye serdtse, easily and by far. My favorite movie, including foreign movies.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096126/

This movie has spirit, soul, atmosphere, masterpiece touch. Something that is completely unexistant in modern "culture".

Arunas Matelis - Pries parskrendant i zeme ( Before Flying Back to Earth ) A movie/documentary which was nominated for the best foreign movie of the year if i remember right o.o Not for the soft-hearted tho, this one's about children who are sick with cancer and their everyday experiences and life in the hospital.

I actually don't particularly like any Australian films.

Why do other countries watch American movies so much? Don't you have you're own movie industries? To me it sounds wierd that foriegn movies will be considered anything non-American for the sake of this thread lol.


to me it sounds wierd that you're cannot spell in your own foriegn language. Most of us hate American movies, it's just that they keep popping up in cinema, probably because of the multimillion American industry trying to kill off all other cultures. It's not us 'foreigners' fault.
What the fuck?

I'm abroad right now and you know why foreigners like shitty movies like Gamer and bad TV shows like How I Met Your Mother? It's not because the American entertainment industry tries to kill off other cultures; it's because mass culture here wants to see them. I've met more people who like them here than I ever have in the US. The myth of dependency theory is that it's a one way street. The American shows don't get the prime time slots, and they make up a minority of what's in the theater yet they still get more viewers, especially online.

Gegen die Wand/Head On (technically German, but about Turks and by a Turkish-German director, so they take credit for it.)
Yol
Günese Yolculuk
Günesi Gördüm

Head On is the only one I'd consider great, compared to movies from the US/France/Italy, etc. Turkish movies are ok, but they tend to be overdramatic because the public flocks to it.


I don't know what country you reside in but in our movie theatres in Sweden there are definitely a lot of Hollywood movies, and you'd have to go to film festivals to see more than a few foreign movies (except Swedish movies) at a theatre. People are sheep and they want to see what's most easily available to them. They are just being brainwashed into believing American cinema is the best while Americans themselves can perhaps be more conscious of their own country.

Fatih Akin is a nice director yes, I've seen Head-On and some other of his movies. Head-On has a certain rawness to it, even when speaking of love, which I found refreshing.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

I'm a Hunarian from Romania

My favorite Hungarian movie is Kontroll, as for romanian films, idk, Train of Life was quite good, altough that's a common project. 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days is said to be one of the best recently.

how about this

is it ok if I upload some of the movies I have mentioned ? I own all of them and can rip them into avi, without subtitles though, you'd have to look for them but I'm quite sure it should be that hard

I can upload Lilja-4-ever for starters,

Your enthusiasm to share movies you view as good, is understandable.
However I think this is not the right forums to do so. And rest assured that TL forum members are experienced in the mysterious ways of mother-Internet, and are very resourceful. Would anyone here wish to obtain a movie, one would do so easily.
I think recommendations and review links will suffice.
