What is your favourite foreign language film?

After seeing Pan’s Labyrinth it has to be that, although if you count opera’s then Carmen and Tosca are right up their!

Il Postino and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

SuperMouse beat me to it: I love Il Postino.

REC. It’s a horror, they are currently making an English version of it, but a fantastic movie.

I loved Pan’s Labyrinth as well.

Cousin, Cousine

Les 400 Coups

Das Boot

SRM

Life Is Beautiful

Run Lola Run.

Plus it has a great soundtrack.

I think these are foreign produced; not sure:
The Joy Luck Club and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman

I ike those alot also.

Hero
Brotherhood of the Wolf.

Tough question. Some faves: Bicycle Thief, In This World, Offside, and (for a change of pace) Battle Royale.

There are so many amazing foreign movies…

The first foreign language film I went to see at the cinema was La Femme Nakita and I still enjoy watching it.

I also love Crouching Tiger, I don’t watch so much as let it wash over me.

I love all Jean-Luc Godard movies, especially “Masculin feminin”. Also,Wong-Kar Wai’s movies are all beautiful. I can’t will myself to see his English-language feature, though. It looks like a lame self-parody.

Hmmm very tough question. I dont think i have a favorite so ill just name some i really like.

Battle Royale
Shaolin Soccer
Sars War
Cat Soup
Mind Game
Pan’s Labyrinth

Easily In The Mood For Love.

Top Three:

Amelie (French)
Volver (Spanish)
Le scaphandre et le papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, French)

Like Water for Chocolate. But I love Almodavar; he’s phenomenal.

Diarios de Motocicleta
Battle Royale (I see I’m not the only one)

+1 for Amelie

Babette’s Feast
Story of the Weeping Camel (Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel, Die)
Under the Sand (Sous le sable)

So sorry. The best I can ever do when asked what my favorite [insert genre/theme/actor/whatever] film is, is lists.

Foreign films I’ve rated five stars on Netflix (which means I could watch them over and over and over without ever getting tired of them):

Amélie
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Delicatessen
The Devil’s Backbone
La Cage aux Folles
Ma ve en rose
The Orphanage
Pan’s Labyrinth
Spirited Away

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s trilogy—Red, White, and Blue. Even if you don’t love the movies themselves, the cinematography is awesome.

La Cage aux Folles
Cousin Cousine
Seven Samurai
Ran
Delicatessen
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman

One of mine favourite are Priceless and another Eyse wide shut or The Onion movie.Unless love storyes and psichological storyes as a last Ironic movies.

In the Mood for Love

Pan’s Labyrinth and City Of God are my two favourites.
