Foreign films worth watching

Kol · 9 Apr 2006 at 01:04

Hi guys,

Does anybody have any suggestions for decent foreign films? I'm into anything to be honest, I've seen the usual Run Lola Run, Oldboy (awesome film, any similar to that?) but that's about as far as it goes, bar the odd one I saw on Filmfour now and again.

Any suggestions then?

A little out there and not Asian cinema but if you haven't caught this already on the telly. Go watch Amelie, it is almost perfect. (for its genre).

Mar Adentro.

It's spanish, about a man fighting to be euthanised.
Won an Oscar too.

I'll second Amelie, and add Hana-Bi.

There's squillions more of course but those are two of my favourites, and a little different to a lot of the ones that will no doubt get recommended.

Taxi and Downfall are worth seeing.

If you liked final fantasy 7, then final fantasy advent children is a film you must watch.

Open your Eyes (Spain)
The Eye (China)
Ring (Japan)
