Is that a CG desk? Weird.

anyone say Stalker yet? They did. Wong Kar Wai, they did.
Last Life in the Universe is my favorite film of all time. I highly recommend it to all.

I appreciate the climax involves diarrhea
Saddened at only one mention of Love Exposure.
Sion Sono is the god of cinema.
Also this is a bizarre idea for a thread - different films are 'foreign' to different people unless you're adopting a rather America-centric view of the world.
Could just call the thread 'best films', given that.
Haven't seen Wages of Fear (I'll try to remedy that myself soon too), but Sorcerer is easily one of my absolute favorite movies. I'm really not convinced the original will match it for me, but hey, who knows!I haven't seen either (I'll try to remedy that very soon) but Wages of Fear is generally considered to be an absolute classic while Sorcerer is a little bit more controversial but definitely has some hardcore defenders.
My God.
This is an American centric board.
Everybody knows what people mean when we're talking about foreign films.
No, this is an English language board.
The English speaking population of the world =/= America.
Most Kurosawa films including High & Low, Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Ran etc...
Solaris / Stalker / The Sacrifice
Wages of Fear
The Battle of Algiers
Eyes Without A Face
Weekend / My Life To Live / Pierrot le Fou
The Great Silence
The Holy Mountain
Just some that come to mind.
Yeah I've been to the criterion website too
In 35,000 BC, the tribe of the Dirty Hairs is in war against the tribe of the Clean Hairs for eight hundred years, trying to get their shampoo. The chief of the Dirty Hairs sends his daughter Guy disguised to the enemy tribe to get some shampoo for his tribe. When the healer of the Clean Hairs tribe surprisingly kills two cavemen of his tribe, their imbecile chief assigns Pierre with curled hair and Pierre blonde to investigate the murder and find the criminal.
Might've been mentioned, not sure. It's maybe my 3rd or 4th favorite movie of all time. I believe I saw it mentioned here on GAF a few years ago. Put it on Netflix to check out the first 15 minutes and ended up watching all SIX HOURS of it. It's the story of an Italian family set against the political situation in the country from 1966 to 2003. Don't think I've been more surprised by a movie before. It was shot as a made for TV movie and later shown on a few theaters as a 2 parter. The amount of directorial skill shown on screen and the actors performances are astounding. Everyone here that's into cinema needs to see it.
