Anyone like foreign movies?

[BlueCat]

I just love to watch foreign movies....I wondered if anyone else here does...

One of my favorite is Amelia. The colors in it are really cool if you are stoned...lol the music is pretty nice too.

So I watched this one a few days ago called Carandiru.

OMG it was so sad. It was about this prison in Sao Paulo...
The conditions there were terrible....and they rioted so the cops came in and just started killing people it was really depressing.
Anyone else seen a good foreign movie?

i can sit down and watch foreign movies and enjoy them too, but you must forgive my bad memory, i don't remember any of the names. there is one that i remember, it's a cartoon - the triplets of bellville, it's really cool, trippy too.

I've seen a lot of foreign movies. I started watching a lot from China and Taiwan when I was learning to speak Chinese. Although most are really bad kungfu movies there are quite a few deeper/artistic movies as well. Try a movie called Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl. It was directed by Joan Chen and was actually banned in China. It's a pretty deep, sad movie but the cinematography is great.

Another good foreign movie is a Vietnamese one called The Scent of Green Papaya. There's not a whole lot of dialog but what is said is meaningful. Plus, like Xiu Xiu, the cinematography is fantastic. Oh, and the story does have a happy ending.

Foreign movies are good, ive watched a good number of them and have enjoyed most of them, i like the fact that theyre totally different from contemporary hollywood flicks and offer a more natural view in cinematography and story lines also the trippiness they involve in them.

City of God is a mad film, Hard boiled is another one(John Woo)

I liked Neon Genesis Evangelion a lot, thats an anime so I don't know if its counts but it is certainly foreign. Amelie was good and so are a lot of German war movies.

I've always liked good foreign films, but I didn't know If I'd be able to handle subtitles while high. But the other night I smoked a joint and watched this film Pyrokinesis. It's about this woman who can set things on fire with her mind. I enjoyed watching it blazed. The subtitles weren't that big a problem. Run Lola Run, La Femme Nikita, Violent cop and Tampopo are all good. It's too bad I didn't see them stoned!
