I can't find words to express what is more to me than a great job. I couldn't believe that the film lasted that long, I thought I was there just for half an hour. That maybe the only bad point: his life was so rich that maybe you want to know more about it and wish that the film was longer
shareIn no partcular order - apart from number one which is my favourite film!
Some are better than others, but these are all films I really enjoyed.
I've loved you so long
Biutiful
Sin Nombre (technically American I guess, but an excellent film)
Irreversible
Elling
Departures
Water
Wu Xia
The Lives of Others
After the Wedding
Life is Beautiful
Monga
Shi (Poetry)
Children of Heaven
La Haine

Persepolis
Has anyone mentioned Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express? It's one of the most mesmerisingly beautiful films I've ever seen. Great soundtrack, too. Zhang Yimou's Raise the Red Lantern comes a pretty close second.
"That, - Captain Bligh, - that is the thing; - I am in hell, sir - I am in hell."
I recommend:
Los Ojos De Julia
Volver
Abre Los Ojos
Viskningar Och Rop
Das Experiment
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
El Espinazo Del Diablo
Pieds Nus Sur Les Limaces
Die Welle
Mar Adentro
Hable Con Ella
El Laberinto Del Fauno
Los Amantes Del Círculo Polar

Persepolis and To Live.
sharePersepolis was good!
The Orator is fantastic - a film from Samoa, not a place that is known for it's film industry ;) I highly recommend seeing it for something that is vastly different from anything else I've ever seen. Visually quite beautiful too. A great introduction to Samoan culture and life.
Boy is a great Kiwi film, so not foreign to me, but hilarious in my opinion.
Also loved The first grader, Miss Bala, Sarah's Key was good, up until the part where the protagonist went to America.
Boy A, Borstal boy, Hunger, Fish tank - all worth watching - British/Irish films.
