Hey Blue Cat, I know you're interested in China so another one you may want to check out is the one Ganj mentioned-Beijing Bicycle. It's a pretty accurate depiction of life in a big city in modern China. A couple of other good ones are:

To Live- a great movie about lifes up's and downs. It follows one family from the mid-'40s or so to about the mid '70s. Banned in China because it depicts the ridiculousness of the Mao years.

Qui Ju- Kind of funny movie about one woman's quest for justice after her husband is kicked in the balls. Sorry, its a bad description of a good movie.

Postmen in the Mountains-Interesting father and son story about life in modern rural China.

Oh, when watching Xiu Xiu keep in mind that the time period for this was the mid '70's. A lot is different now.

Now I gotta go and find that City of God movie that everyone is talking about.

I liked what the creators of south park had to say "foreign films are just a bunch of gay cowboys eating pudding"
but then again a foreign film to me is from america.


The seven samurai!!!!!!!! ok theres a good one. 1950's japaneese movie about honour, sacrifice, nobility, forgiveness, mercy and kick ass wicked sword fighting...at the point when guns rendered swords virtually obsolete

American films are foreign to me too although they dont really count! - Downfall is a great German film about the last days of Hitler
Some good british movies are Scum, McVicar, Football Factory, I.D, the Italian Job(original not piss poor remake) Twin Town and Trainspotting, theres loads more great British films and none are like that poncy Love actually and 3 or 4 (im not sure) weddings and a funeral(mine after i watched it)

tee hee I liked Trainspotting...

Thanks so much Fengzi.. I will go look for those now and put them in my queue.

They should mail out Xiu Xiu this week...I'll comment once I've seen it.

Bus 174 is about the children that live in the streets of Brazil...and the media's hunger for a story...it is really eye opening.

I got Postmen in the Mountains and Beijing Bicycle in my queue but can't find "To Live"
What is the Chinese name?

Really? So tell me about them...I don't watch many horror movies.

There's a foreign horror movie called 28 days Later thats a riot to watch when you are stoned....the color is really vivid, its the Trainspotting director Danny Boyle's.
