Foriegn Movies Anyone?

Does anyone watch foriegn movies? you know the ones with subtitles?

I watch many chinese movies but doubt they have them where you are.

I doubt it too, i only have access to old kung fu flicks from the 70's

but I am into Bollywood now

STALINGRAD


but it was dubbed

i don't like dubbed movies, I don't care what the language is, I rather listen to it and read the subtitles.

Same here its better if its in its original language.

"El Mariachi"

It's in Spanish with sub-titles. "Desperado" and "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" are the sequals to it. I just bought it for myself 3 weeks ago. It's awesome.

cool, I'll have to check that out. I really liked Desperado and Once upon a time in Mexico, both good movies.

This was really werid. But I rented a movie from Canada and it was in english but with heavy accents and it had subtitles. So does Canada count as a foreighn film?

lol, hmmm that's a tricky one

but i'll say yes, since it had subtitles.

Just saw Battle Royal 2 farkin awesome it was.

Real movies from real places that are not Hollywood don't seem "foreign".

I never used to watch films with subtitles until I changed channels on my tv and came across "run lola run" . I really got into it, it's an excellent film.
The only other subtitled film I've watched is The Eye, which was a sixth sence sort of film.
Talking about dubbed films, it always amazed me that they dubbed american accents over the first Mad Max film. There were two versions shown on telly. sometimes American accents and sometimes Australian.

films like crimson rivers, battle royale, city of god , man bites dog , amilie , taxi 1 +2 , itchi the killer ,brotherhood of the wolf , john woo flicks, chun yow fat, jacki chan so on and so on im a big fan of these films

Yeah, "El Mariachi" explains how he became a gun fighter type and why he's out for vengence. It's way low buget ($8000) but, it's a really good flick.

Have I got news for You.

I am foreign to English myself. Being cinema freaek, I have decided to give you my favourites:

POLISH MUST SEE:
"Mis", "Sexmission", "Dezerters", "Rejs", "Sami swoi" (comedy)
"Czesc Tereska", "Three Colours- Blue, Red White"(Kieslowski), "Psy "("Dogs"), "With Fire and Sword", "Konopielka"

OTHER:
"Queen Margot", "Cinema Paradiso",

Although this is not quite foreign one, all should see "Night on Earth". My favourite part is in Rome. Benini entering one way street "... yesterday it wasn't here..." .

I'll keep you updated.

Just bought The Island of Lost Children the other day at a garage sale. I haven't seen it in years, but I remember it was very Tim Burton-ish.

I watch and collect a lot of 70's European films and the majority of them are subtitled and some are still the original language. I greatly prefer subtitles to dubbing, for me at least, its easier to follow.

Absolutely right MA, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I saw The Ox a few years ago. I think it was Swedish. It's about surviving a famine. Very good, very disturbing.
