I was think about this and went through my imdb ratings...Hmmm
I finally chose Like Water for Chocolate. 1992 Probably one of the few foreign films I've watched multiple times. Such a great film.
The Wages of Fear (1953)
Burnt by the Sun (1994) - Russian
Being Dutch, am I allowed to go for a Dutch film or do I have to go with another language except for English?
shareWait if you don't live in the Netherlands and your just of Dutch descent your fine to pick Dutch. Thats like me saying I can't pick an Irish film because my dad was Irish but I don't live in Ireland. Wow confusing.
shareshe's a 100% Dutch
shareWell than Dutch is not a foreign film to her and I'd say she can't choose that country.
shareBut I can't pick an English language film either?
shareI think if your that close to the country of origin its not really a foreign film to you, so that wouldn't work. Say for Uk guys they couldn't pick Trainspotting, but I could.
shareWell, I live FAR away from the US, so I could pick an American movie. In that case I think I'll go with Beauty and the Beast (1991).
For a non-English language movie I pick the Indian movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (hownos will love me for this!😁)
I think thats valid. To you US is a foreign country.
shareIts helps if you go through your Imdb 10 ratings. It reminded me of movies I hadn't thought about for a long time.
share8½ (1963)
shareSeveral British, but in terms of foreign language film (after all, the Academy Award is for Best Foreign Language Film)
Das Boot (1981)
Wow. That is a hard question to answer.
shareSeven Samurai.
