Favorite foreign movies?

[nhbenz]

So far my favorites are Akira Kurosawa's "Ran" for action. Johnny Stecchino (Italian) for humor. But if we don't want subtitles, you've gotta' see the six-part English miniseries "Lipstick on your collar" for humor and more. (not exactly a movie, but its awesome). I highly recommend these.

These aren't exactly my top five, but they are an interesting mix:

Battleship Potemkin (Russian Expressionist silent film)

Fairinelli (Italian. beautiful.)

Waking Ned Devine (Irish. Hilarious)

Le Diner Du Cons (French. Literally, "The Dinner of A$$holes." This one is a belly-buster and a half.)

Mr. Freedom (Joint French/U.S. project as I recall. Perhaps just French. Pure satire, and in reality not very funny because it is still painfully valid today. Unfortunately, remove the "Red Communist" banter and insert "Muslim" it seems. Banned in both countries in the 60's shortly after it was first shown in France)

Yeah, its a trilogy. The next one is Day Watch and I forgot what the third one is named. I think I read somewhere that Day Watch is in the UK, and the 3rd film will be in the US.
Its very much worth the rent for the special effects alone. Its a very ambitious project that I hope gets pulled off in style.
