Foreign Films.

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Wrecked, Feb 8, 2020.

  1. I've seen some cracking foreign films over the years although the subtitles can be a bit of a pain. Pan's Labyrinth - excellent. I'm off to see the flick Parasite next week (Oscar favourite apparently). Another good South Korean effort is Train to Busan - which is on tonight (Film4 11.15pm). Watch it if you can.

  5. As a teenager in the 50's, I remember seeing a French film, " The sheep has five legs"... couldn't understand a bloody word, but the birds weren't 'alf nubile.

  16. Betty Blue (37°2 Le Matin) is one of my favourite films of all time.

    (even though the lead reminds me of my 2nd wife - to a disturbing degree).

    The Host (Korean film) is wild and features my favourite monster.

    Bedevilled is excellent (Korean)

    Confessions (Japan) is great.

    Abre Los Ojos (Spain) (original idea behind Vanilla Sky)

    Don't Look Back (French/Italian) is fantastic.

    Kung Fu Hustle has me in stitches but watch the subtitled version, not the English dubbed.
     
  17. Amelie.
    Life is beautiful.
     
  18. Cinema Paradiso - my all-time favourite film
