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

Battle Royale - It's one of my favourite films, I pretend it's sequel doesn't exist though.
Death Note & Death Note: The Last Name Let The Right One In Pan's Labyrinth REC - I need to get around to seeing REC2. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon I love foreign films, I wanna watch more though. The next ones I'll watch will probably be the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. |

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
