What foreign movie did you really like?
« on: Wed, 11 September 2013, 21:34:02 »
Sometimes i watch on netflix and on occasion i watch foreign movies.
There are some really good ones one can find and the ones i really liked where movies (spanish movie) like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skin_I_Live_In
"The Skin I Live In"
with Antonio Banderas. A pretty gruesome thriller that is so dark that it made me shiver.

Another one i watched lately was a movie called "Doomsday Book"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Book_%28film%29
which consist of 4 short films with different topics ranging from zombie to scifi. This is a korean film that i thought as a good film that had some really nice ideas.

Another really old now film i enjoyed was
"Tampopo"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampopo
in where a truck driver helps a helpless and naive restaurant owner to make the best ever noodle soup in town. Really funny.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I think I've said this loads of times here but my absolute favourite foreign film is "The Good, The Bad, The Weird"

I just think it's such a great movie..

Japanese:

The Hidden Fortress (1958) by Akira Kurosawa.  This is the samurai movie that George Lucas ripped off to make the original Star Wars.  It has sword fights. It has the princess.  It has the rescue.  It even has the two idiotic gay servants who became the droids in Lucas' sci-fi ripoff version.  (It's also better than Star Wars, and I'm actually a Star Wars fan.)

Dersu Uzala (1975) by Akira Kurosawa.  Filmed in Russia, during the cold war.  Greatness in every shot.  So much awesome.

All of the other Kurosawa films are awesome, and are better than anything you have ever seen, including but not limited to Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Rashomon.


French:

Rififi (1955) by Jules Dassin.  You think you know caper movies?  You know nothing.

The 400 Blows (1959) by Francois Truffaut.  The real deal.  French films don't get Frenchier than this. 

Le Samourai (1967) by Jean-Pierre Melville.  Wow.  I don't have words.

Going Places (1974) by Bertrand Blier.  Gerard Depardieu, before he became a fat jackass.  Miou Miou.  Undeclared class warfare.  The '70's.  So great.


Italian:

La Dolce Vita (1960) by Federico Fellini.  One of the greatest films of all time.  (And it gave us the word Paparazzi.)

8 1/2 (1963) by Federico Fellini.  It's great.  Beyond great.  What a movie could be, if you would let it.

There is one last Italian film, that I hate to mention.  Is it great?  I don't think so exactly.  Disturbing?  Somewhat.  Memorable?  Most definitely.  I saw this film almost 20 years ago, and it still haunts me to this day.  I can still remember it vividly.  Maybe it's just me, I dunno.  Maybe not.  The director was murdered by someone who was disturbed by this film.  The film is, Salo: 120 Days of Sodom (1975) by Pier Paolo Passolini.  I don't exactly recommend seeing it.  But you will never forget it if you do.

There are many more films from other countries, but this is all I have time for right now.  Except I will leave you with the Russian film, Battleship Potemkin (1926) by Sergei Eisenstein.  Simply great.  And not horrible like Salo.  Also I forgot to mention Ingmar Bergman.  All great.  Wild Strawberries or Virgin Spring would be great places to start.

Technically most films available to me are foreign films, but that wouldn't make this any fun so I'll stick to non-English films.

Nowhere Man, weird film. I don't even.

Well it's in Spanish, so I consider it foreign.
But yeah, it's good, the eye-guy(forget what he's called) is an amazing piece of character design which is something I like about del Toro. I would love to see him get to do At The Mountains of Madness, the artists he had working on that are all amazing at creature design.

I catch it every time it's on TV, last time that happened was the first time the GF saw it, she spent half the film going "what the ****" and the other half laughing, which I guess sums it up pretty well. Amazing action film.

Tampopo!  Never watch that without having some ramen in the house, it will drive you crazy until you get a bowl of noodles!   :p

About 60-75% of everything I watch are foreign movies, particularly anything starring Jean Reno (Wasabi!) or any of Kurosawa's films.  Ones I really liked?  Delicatessen, The Quiet Earth, Sanjuro, Pan's Labyrinth, Mad Max, Dog Soldiers, and Iron Sky.

Nubbinator, if you liked No Man's Land, then I highly suggest you watch Pretty Village, Pretty Flame. It is one of the best movies that came out in the Balkans in the last 20 years.

Cidade de Deus (aka City of God) I would say one of the top 10 films I have ever seen, foreign or no. Just totally gripping.

Troll Hunter was great!

I really enjoyed this one as well, surprising how good the acting was for what was essentially a low-budget monster flick.  And the end scene, apparently using real news footage, was hilarious.   :thumb:

I think I've said this loads of times here but my absolute favourite foreign film is "The Good, The Bad, The Weird"

I just think it's such a great movie..

I put that in my list on netflix.

I was unimpressed by it.  It was decent up until the end.  It was one of those movies that I felt lived and died by the ending and the ending killed it for me.  I know others might disagree.

Anatomy also with Franka Potente was pretty good.

Anyone seen Anatomy 2?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
