And "M" another Fritz Lang classic. And the little known 'Love is Colder Than Death'. It makes me wish I was German/could speak German just so I could watch it without subs. Good call on Metropolis one of the three greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time in my opinion. I am lookign forward to seeing the new extended/fuller version.teebeeohh said:

Being American I gotta say our greatest film has to be Patton if you haven't seen it do so it's an absolute master piece.
Well, I'm from England so... I don't know, really. I like mostly all English films, but they appeal English people in culture more than anything. I doubt Americans would really enjoy a lot of our stuff.
Well, it's not difficult to find good ones from the US using the intarwebs, but there's probably more bad American films than good ones out there. Still, I would say the best films do come from America so if you have to sift though a little crap to find some gems, I suppose it isn't all that bad.LifeCharacter said:
Films from Wales that I can think off the top of my head:
.Y Mabinogi (Otherworld)
.Human Traffic
.Twin Town (Very Funny)

As an American who has nothing against other countries, and is a bit embarrassed about a good chunk of Americas foreign policy, it's easy to feel like people have nothing good to say about America unless they're jingoistic Americans. So this question makes me feel much better. Ive loved a bunch of Foreign films. The ones I see mentioned which I recognize are all pretty wonderful. But asking that question to an American just sounds silly, because even though yes, there's a bunch of crap, America also has countless amazing and innovative pieces of Cinema. I'm not even sure where to begin. Casablanca?
District 9.
All those strange Leon Schuster movies that the big afrikaans guy in the English pubs won't shut up about...
Yeah. Crowning achievements...
*cries self to sleep*

Hot Fuzz, Four Lions, Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Layer Cake, Dog Soldiers, 28 Days and 28 Weeks, Girl With a Pearl Earing, Harry Potter, Descent, V for Vendetta, James Bond, Sunshine... man, Britain's got a pretty good list :3 Plus a load of assorted crap, heh.
Best foreign films I've seen are either Max Manus (Norway) or the 2 Mesrine films (France)
each time my group of friends were the only people in the cinema other than 1 other person (not the same person each time) and we were just totally blown away by it, and the fact that my little backwater town has a cinema with waiters AND leather chairs AND a bar you can text for more drinks - brilliant.

Hah, well there's been plenty of them and they're all British. GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, World is Not Enough, Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace are ones I'd focus on personally.pulse2 said:Which James bond, theres been some pretty crappy ones tooWicky_42 said:

There's an awesome thriller movie from Spain called The Baby's Room & an actually good horror movie from Japan called Infection.
Have you ever seen The Dentist? It's an even more messed up Irish short film. My personal favourite is Yung Ming is Ainm Dom.ConstantJoe said:
There's also a load of good Irish films that are in English; Michael Collins and The Buthcer Boy to name a couple
The Australian film scence has enjoyed quite a few decent movies, especially this year with Animal Kingdom, Tommorow when the War Began and Bran Nue Dae. You also have the classics such as The Castle and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. It's worth noting that while pretty much all of the aformentioned films are distincly Australian, in both style and substance, thus making them the more "Australian" movies, big name Holywood stuff like Mad Max and Daybreakers were all made and shot here.
