Favourite non-English movies?
List your favourite films where English is not the spoken language. Eeeasy as that.
German: Good Bye, Lenin! - beautiful film. Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) - likewise. Tragic that the star of the movie died only a year after it was made. Lola Rennt (Run, Lola, Run) Gegen die Wand (Head-On) - we studied the films of Fatih Akin for A Level...I recommend all of them really. They tackle a lot of gritty subjects and whilst the films are somewhat uncomfortable viewing, they're powerful. Metropolis - pioneering. Spanish: Y Tu Mama Tambien - drugs, beaches, sexual experimentation, roadtrips, teenagers - perfect revelry film that somehow manages to pluck poignancy out of the air by the end. Glue - an Argentinean film about a sexually-confused teenager...it's got some great scenery, and it's...hot *blushes* Volver - intense, gripping stuff and it really roped me in. French: Amelie - just...brilliant. Clever, funny, tragic, cute and...actually makes me consider living in rural France. Multiple-language: Babel - English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic - great editing of 3 totally different moving stories |
Spanish:
everything by Guillermo del Toro, especially The Orphanage Rec German: Das Boot Metropolis Japanese: The Ring The Grudge Chinese: The Eye Indian: Mother India Multi-lingual: Babel |
Italian - Cinema Paradiso.
Swedish - Show me love, Let the right one in. I know I like way more than that but I can't think. D: EDIT: French - L'Enfant |

German:
Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) - really haunting The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) - really sad Lola Rennt (1998) - like a cool '90s videogame The Edukators (2004) - a good teen movie Head-On (2004) - pretty depressing and strong violence French/Polish: Trois Couleurs: Bleu (1993) - like a depressing Amélie Japanese: Ringu (1998) - better than the U.S. remake Spanish: Jamón, Jamón (1992) - just really funny Y Tu Mamá También (2001) - teen movie |
most of my favourites are well known or been mentioned already
one that is lesser known is a norwegian film called a bothersome man (2006) |
The Motorcycle Diaries.
