| | What are the best foreign movies you've seen? |
| | Le Petit Nicolas was pretty funny. Its a french movie about a kid in a boarding school who thinks his mom is preggers and is afraid once the baby is born he'll be left in the woods or sold. I wont spoil anything, but it made me giggle. |
| | Some french I watched are funny like Les Emotifs Anonymes and Amelie.
I am currently into Japanese animate movies (Spirited Away, Laputa, Mononoke Hime, and Ponyo)
I found them creative.
I am also watching chinese historical Movies like Red Cliff and Curse of the Golden Flower. |
| | Fish Story. I really can't recommend it enough. At first you think it's moving slowly, but by the end you get hit with how profound it is. Castaway on the Moon is another good Japanese movie.
I do like Amelie as well, and anything from Studio Ghibli.
Curse of the Golden Flower was... ugh! I think for me the story wasn't complex enough. I was expecting political intrigue, more twists and turns. Secret is a better Jay Chou movie in my opinion, though they're two different genres so I guess it's hard to compare them.
The Storm Riders is a classic for those seeking kung fu action/fantasy. Wing Chun is also another good one.
As for Korean movies, there's Secret (not the Jay Chou one), Romantic Island, and on a more serious note, The Crucible which is an adaptation of a novel based on a true story about extreme child abuse at a school for the deaf. The culprit got a light sentence due to connections and the writer wrote the book to support the victims fighting for an appeal. |

| | I have watched alot of Korean films and they all have amazing story lines until the end when the ending is usual sad eg I Give My First Love to You |
| | My friend over sold Golden Flower to me. I expected alot. Haha
I just watched Mulan(not disney) the other day, it was sad.
Korean and Thai romantic comedy movies are really sweet. You can't control yourself saying "Awwwww".
Japanese, korean, thai horror movie never failed to bite my neck. |
| | I saw a chinese movie once about this rich family that lost all their money because the husband had a gambling problem just in time for Mao to take over and kill all the rich people. It was called...um...something. |
| | Z, isn't that a Japanese movie based on the manga, Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu? I tried to look for a Korean remake, but didn't see one. Usually Japanese movies are more somber than Korean ones.
Oracle, I can't find any good horror films. They are all so disappointing. I want to be so scared that I can't watch at night!
ManDude... lol! |
|
| | probaly umm hmm ...spirited away maybe ;o lolz
*Vigilante Pride* |
| | Yes it was a Japanese movie actually but dont really know about the manga for it. |
| | @Love I havent seen any good foreign horror movies but if you really want something scary, (I guess it counts as foreign for some people) a American movie called "1408" is pretty darn scary. Probably the scariest movie I've seen and I was raised on that junk. |
| | Not being American, all of your movies are foreign movies to me :). On the subject of other foreign movies, I enjoy the occasional Chinese one mostly kung fu though from 1960-1980, I'm also an avid fan of Japanese cinema. French movies are not to bad either, unless they are extremely artsy. |
