I notice this is the one time where I only have a couple of foreign movies, although they are among the best. I'd love to see some Eastern European movies like these in the 60s, when there were a lot of great directors. "Two Half Times in Hell" is a good movie, and was re-done by John Huston with Sylvestor Stallone in "Victory". There's another good prison movie with a really long name I can't remember.
