Favorite foreign film?

[Mad Old Lu]

I'm gonna go in a different direction and say Amelie (although Wofford already beat me to it.)

Hard Boiled. The last 40 or so minutes have yet to be topped for shoot outs.

how are Diving Bell and A Very Long Engagement? I saw AVLE at B&N last week and considered getting it...well not from B&N because they're too expensive but amazon.

Have a couple on that list. Did you like T/he Counterfeiters? I enjoyed it and August Diehl was in it. He's the one that wanted to sabotage the operation. I thought he was awesome in Inglourious Basterds. He was the Gestapo officer in the tavern scene with Michael Fassbender

 

[wofford29]

Both are very good films. A Very Long Engagement is the more entertaining of the two. I did like The Counterfeiters a lot.

I guess Sergio Leone's movies are also foreign, since he was Italian, and they were mostly filmed in Europe.

So, I add Once Upon A Time in the West and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to my list.
