Best foreign films ever...

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

We've got a best British film thread but is their any world cinema fans out there?

Some of my faves are:

Cinema Paradiso
The Lives of Others
City of Life and Death

I quite enjoyed the 1970 murder mystery.... 'And soon the Darkness'

wasn't technically a French film , more british produced and directed , but you'd never know it .... it was filmed almost entirely on location in rural France , and featured the lovely Michelle Dotrice , of 'Some mothers do ave em' fame.

Probably not the greatest film you'll ever see , but the french scenery/villages make it interesting , as do the mix of the few characters involved ..... and the movie has remained in my mind for years.

Apparently there was a 2010 remake of the film.

13 assassins.
36 Quai des Orfèvres.
The 400 blows.
Das Boot.
All pretty good imo.

Downfall. A fantastic portrayal of one man's descent into madness.

Plus, it launched a thousand parody clips!

A far superior scene from that brilliant film:

Not a big movie watcher.

Seen a horror film a few years ago, Rec or something similar, that was alright.
