I can't stand his earlier films, big fan of his later films but the earlier films like the above bored me to tears for the most part.

[Mrs. Five]

War and Peace - the Russian version made in the 60s. At least six hours long. A truly epic film.
Horseman on the Roof - it's just so romantic
House of the Flying Daggers - not the greatest film ever made but really entertaining and original.

Black Book for me. Carice van Houten is fantastic - look out for her in Valkyrie.

Also really enjoyed L'enfant

 

[Osbourne]

Kurosawa's film Ran

There are lots of foreign films that have impressed me or that I have enjoyed immensely but two have stayed with at a deeper, more emotional level.


Tokyo Story (Tokyo Monogatari) - for a 50 year old film, from a country half the world away, still the affecting film I've ever seen on parents and children.

Central Station (Central do Brasil) - an astonishing take on a road movie.
