Foreign Language Films
I've been quite into foreign language films recently.
I was wondering whether anyone could recommend any really good foreign language films (those being foreign for me, i.e. non-English). I can't say I've watched too many more than this list (probably about the same number again) but my current favourite list would be; 1) City of God 2) Cyrano de Bergerac 3) Bicycle Thieves 4) Hero 5) Spirited Away 6) Pan’s Labyrinth 7) Run Lola Run 8) Oldboy 9) Goodbye Lenin 10) The Diving Bell and the Butterfly cheers |

I don't know if you're more into modern or classic movies but if you like recent works the last season's dramedy directed by Paolo Genovese "Perfetti Sconosciuti" (=Perfect Strangers) did well both with audience and critics and american studios already wants to make a remake of it. Also "La Grande Bellezza" (aka The Grat Beauty) by Sorrentino is worthwhile, and anything by Nanni Moretti, Ferzan Ozpetek and Roberto Benigni. I'm particularly fond of "La Leggenda del Pianista sull'Oceano" (aka The Legend of 1900) by Tornatore, with Tim Roth, so you could try "Nuovo Cinema Paradiso" of him.
If you're into classics then it's pretty mandatory to cite Fellini, Rossellini, Antonioni, De Sica, Visconti, De Santis, Zeffirelli, Pasolini, Bertolucci etc. |

Ah ah Ok, my personal picks would be:
"La grande bellezza" (aka "The Great Beauty") by Paolo Sorrentino, I''m curious to know the opinion of an American "La vita è bella" by Roberto Benigni (aka "Life is beautiful") and prepare a handkerchief "Giulietta degli Spiriti" by Federico Fellini. |

I'll give you my opinion of The Great Beauty (but you'll have to wait for your American opinion and make do with a British one). many thanks |

Since it's a foreign language movie I think it could be one of her long time collaborations with Pedro Almodovar or one of her more recent italian movies with Castellitto, "Don't move" or "Twice born". |

Love Run Lola Run.
My favorites are Amelie and The Double Life of Veronique. And then there are the Truffaut films.
