Hello movie fan

Three years ago, I decided to watch the best foreign movies in the last decades base on scores/reviews on websites such as rottentomatoes, metacritic and imdb. I spent several hours making this video but it was worth it. My objective is to let you know good movies to watch, enjoy, feel and think. I do not display movies before 1980 because those excellent movies have been reviewed in many list and videos.

watch and enjoy

WHERE is 'Der Untergang' (Downfall)?

Also, it's Infernal Affairs, not Internal Affairs....

Nine Queens is an incredible film.

It wasn't a list of the grittiest foreign films.

Incredibly boring lists. Full of high profile films which are easy to digest but still allow you to feel cultured.

Wondering what YOUR list includes?? They're high profile for a reason..and the films on the OP's list were popular in their own countries...I like his list...we're not all movie snobs trying to "impress" others with all the "underground" movies you watch...some of us just love film! Stop hatin'

[–] TurquoiseBananas 14 years ago

Congrats on your fabulous list! May I also suggest The Band's Visit, The Choir and The Class, also does Babel count?

Foreign movies? This is a worldwide forum and movies made outside the US are not foreign. Some are European others are Asian and so on and so forth. *beep* Americans! There's no such thing as foreign movies when you're adressing people from all around the world you self sentered piece of *beep*

Way to get defensive. There is no reason at all to call the OP a piece of s**t.

[–] fearnotofman 12 years ago

He was overly defensive, yes, but the point he made is still a good one.

[–] mugroth213 11 years ago

So what do you suggest we call them then? I guess those guys should be sorry that they (presumably) live in America.
