For some reason, I can't think which of the films I like are foreign and which ones aren't.

Alex Trebek: ( shakes head ) Let's just go with Foreign Flicks for $800. ( Connery buzzes in. )
Sean Connery: Ursula Andress.
Alex Trebek: What?
Sean Connery: Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo, twice.
Alex Trebek: That's Foreign Flicks, Mr. Connery. Foreign Flicks.

Itchi the killer,audition,are unique and awsome movies.Itchi the killer is about several things It can't be explained in just a few sentences.It is just awsome.Audition Is twisted and the movie is shot in three lenzes.Each lense is an alternet situation. You guess witch one is real.

I like Battle Royale. Beat Takeshi- always brilliant.
I watched Tale of Two Sisters the other night. It had some creepy moments in it.

Hey rubedo If your ever in my neiborhood you can barrow it.I'm not to picky about my movies ,as long as I get it back.Try the king of masks ,if your looking for a moving film.It is a beutiful story about a sonless old man looking for a son to pass his legacy to. he adopts. he ends up geting a girl. It takes place in china so you can tell he didn't want her.The young girl trys to proove her worth.Its a touching story,so check it out. By the way keep tissues handy.

Roan Innish is an american film, FYI
I won't go in depth as to my favorite foreign films (at least for now.....am working on a "1,000 films to see before you die" list, and will probably leak some of them here sooner or later), but will say this-the greatest film (not just foreign, or artsy, or whatever, but film, period) I have ever seen-"Wings Of Desire". Trust me, this is one that changed my life.

I liked Farewell My Concubine. It stars Gong Li.
I had a great date seeing that movie. Why did I let that one go?
Oh right, she was psycho.
Anyway, the movie is a classic.

Isn't she gorgeous? And I love the "bitch" personality she usually gives off in movies.

I was meant to watch that movie at the beginning of this year, but since my 'movie-to-watch list' is always re-prioritised, I never gone around to watching it.
What made the movie "Old Boy" to be "very good".

Amelie is one of my all time favourite movies. The movie is very quirky and colourful.
All of the Jean's movies I've ever watched have been quirky and creative from start to the end.
Besides Amelie, Jean-Pierre Jeunet also directed the french war/romance movie "A very long engagement", also staring the same actress, Audrey Tautou. In my eyes, Audrey never fails to excite me. I think Audrey's performance in this movie is probably just as good as her role in 'Amelie'. Also, those who enjoy french arthouse movies, would probably enjoy this movie.
Then again, I'm quite biased in my opinions as I'm a major fan of french movies, arthouse movies, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's movies and Audrey Tautou's performance in movies.

I liked the story. It's not an action flick. It's a pure mind fuck film. If you really think about it you can probably figure it out but the end will still be satisfying.
