Your fave FOREIGN LANGUAGE movie??

Spoorloos (1988) (Loved it before I learned Dutch and only understood the French; Now that I speak Dutch, I literally couldn't sleep after I saw it again but that's a good thing).

Amelie
La Fille sur le pont
Insomnia (1997)
Brotherhood of the Wolf
 
Hmm....let me think.
:D

Watched Amelie on more4 last night..hadn't seen it in ages. Lovely.

I take it you like 'A very long engagement too?'
 
I see that several people have mentioned F***ing Amal (Show Me Love).Shortly after I saw the film,there was an episode of Neighbours which ended with Sky and Boyd being locked in a toilet before walking out together and declaring their relationship.It was not similar to the end of this movie,it was a scene for scene rip off.I actually found it quite amusing! I just wonder if the writers got permission to rework that scene.No way was it a coincedence.

Anyway,the real point of this post is to ask for help in naming a film.It was a Luis Bu
 
Has anyone seen "eighth day," with Daniel Autiel, about a young Down's Syndrome man who embarks on a road trip with the Daniel Autiel character? Lovely film. I don't know why but I think the French films really have the edge. I think "Ridicule" has to be one of the best period dramas I have ever seen.
Recently saw and very much enjoyed "goodbye Lenin", German, actually and really good.
Three Colours Trilogy....which was your favourite.....?
 
Amelie is a joy to behold - a delightful movie.

[Censored] me off to think of the god-awful R2 release of City of Lost Children though. That's Entertainment In Video for ya... Can't find a decently-priced R1 release either...
 
Definitely no road movie! And it was made in 2000. :)

No it's more of a 'slice of (a quite sad and bizarre) life' movie.

Imagine for me if you will everything that made all the wrong impressions about Australia that 'Muriel's Wedding' did, without really intending to as it wasn't really part of the story, more incidental. Kind of displays how the Icelandics feel about themselves when they think no-one else is looking. Another good analogy (to me at least) is the way 'The Full Monty' displays aspects of Sheffield (or the North of England) in an incidental way. These aspects are more relevent to the story/plot in that film.

I'll just qualify that before I get hundreRAB of people from Sheffield telling me it's not like that now. It isn't. Sheffield is a very cosmopolitan place and it's fairly forward-looking.

I think I'm safe from the Aussies and the Icelandics......... ;)
