Thank you all so much for all your suggestions last week about options for a foreign movie poll! There was so many we are going to do TWO polls, then the top 2 of each to go on to a final champions poll! I think these are going to be fun!

go vote on the other poll here

Comments

Ike

I’ve never seen “The Girl with Dragon Tattoo” and I want to. That’s my vote.

Jennifer Medicus

Fond memories of Cinema Paradiso when my roommie was taking Italian in college.

rakesh

Downfall. Please! It's soooooooo good

John Drake

Das Boot should really be watched as the series - the film leaves too much out

Thomas Thompson

The girl with the dragon tattoo is one of those rare exceptions where the American remake is far far superior

AC5555

Cassie, please watch Cinema Paradiso regardless of what happens in this poll. It’s Entirely up your alley. It’s a love letter to romantic love, cinema and Italy. It’s influenced me and made me feel better after moving away from home to study film and become a filmmaker. The score is by ennio Morricone. Aside from that, nothing else much to say. Great choices here. Bicycle Thieves is perfect too. As are Yojimbo, Das Boot and Rashomon.

Stranger2Reality
>>136576521

I saw all the Swedish originals first, and IMO it's one of the rare instances where the English remake was far superior, but that's largely because David Fincher is such a fantastic director.

Patrick Egan

Oh man, I want to vote for “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” because it’s such a great movie, but I’m genuinely concerned that some scenes are gonna be too much for you.

Chris Brown

Nothing a particularly wish to vote for on 2 of 2, so instead a "write in": Patrik, Age 1.5 (2008) Swedish with subtitles, 72% on Rotten Tomatoes

Jacob Wagner

Yojimbo is one of my favorite films

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Downfall wasn't that Hitler movie were everyone and their mother recreated it? Like Ohio State not beating Michigan or Kansas losing to UNI just to name 2 of like hundreds.

Stranger2Reality

I think Cassie is going to be squirming all over the place during Girl With the Dragon Tattoo if that wins. Run Lola Run is a lot of fun, but I also think Downfall is a very good, very important movie.

Above Average Dave

Cinema Paradiso is one of my favorite films of all time. I cry at the end. Every. Time.

Blake Evans

Downfall was such a good film, but I think Rashomon has such a lasting imprint on the films we watch today, which I wont say for potential spoilers.

Adam Doyle

The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo would be a popular one on Youtube i would imagine.

Odd Thomas

Fincher's remake of Dragon Tattoo is better

Shehab Dawoud

Still early but Rashomon doing so poorly is very disappointing. Maybe most people here haven’t seen or heard of it but its influence on cinema can’t be understated.

JennP

I love this idea! Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is up there as a fun movie too, one day!

William Bryan

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. "I forgot to ask you, you like **** ***?" 🤣🤣🤣

Pat Cecil

Das Boot is a timeless classic, a real gem, Very fine, powerful work

pinkdino99

Amile, Infernal Affairs 2, Elite Squad, House of Flying Daggers, The Raid...

Bill Maurer

"Downfall" has probably one of the best acting performances I have ever seen in any movie. Bruno Ganz's performance as the World's worst human being is mesmerizing. Great, great acting

Mark Ultimatemusings

I’m going with one of the Akira Kurosawa films! Love them both but picking Rashomon! All the choices are great!

Johnny

Das Boot is the best movie on that list.

AC5555

For future polls I’d add Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 🇫🇷, Let the Right One In (2008) 🇸🇪, The Worst Person in the World (2021) 🇳🇴, Tokyo Story 🇯🇵, The Hunt 🇩🇰, The Cranes are Flying (1957) 🇷🇺, Come and See (1985) 🇷🇺, Rohmer’s Tale of Four Seasons, Boyfriends and Girlfriends, and Green Ray 🇫🇷 , Shoplifters, Like Father Like Son or Nobody Knows 🇯🇵 , The Virgin Spring , Autumn Sonata, Scenes from a Marriage, The Seventh Seal 🇸🇪 , Broken Embraces (2009) 🇪🇸, Close (2022), Mustang (2015) 🇹🇷, El Sur (1993) 🇪🇸, Kisses (2008) 🇮🇪, Quiet Girl (2022) 🇮🇪, Where is the Friend’s House (1987) 🇮🇷, 400 Blows (1959) 🇫🇷 , High Hopes & Life is Sweet 🇬🇧, Memories of Murder 🇰🇷, Cleo from 5 to 7 🇫🇷, War and Peace 🇷🇺

Movieguru88

I have a suggestion for a foreign film to check out. Pan’s Labyrinth. Imo, Guillermo del Toro’s best work. Highly recommend it.

_tragicmike

Where is the love for CINEMA PARADISO???

Laura Thornley

Downfall and Das Boot are both very excellent movies. Both horrifying for different reasons.

Steve Holton

Thanks Cassie, for including Le Samourai on this poll. It is not well known enough to win or get many views on YouTube, but its influence on modern action/crime films in many countries is unmistakable. After seeing it filmmaker John Woo dressed as the protagonist in Le Samourai for about a year, he thought him so authentic an anti-hero. Thanks again for a worthy attempt to include it. I hope just its inclusion on this poll will lead some potential fans to see it. 😊

René Ferland

My choice is Cinema Paradiso; among the leaders Das Boot. I wonder who saw Rabbi Jacob here (I did) :-)

Celeste McAllister

I'm pulling for 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' I can personally vouche for this movie..Can we get a HOLOCAUST POLL ? 'The Boy in the stripped pajamas' 'The Diary of Anne Frank'.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Matt Rose

Too many good ones in both of these polls. I'm going to throw my weight behind BICYCLE THIEVES as a film that you absolutely must see.

Pickupthepieces76

Probably due to the American version, but Dragon Tattoo feels like the most American choice of the lot. It's a good movie, but hoping for another choice.

Matt Rose
>>136577162

I rate them about the same. There are superior elements in each version of the film.

Lamar Smith

Dearest Cassie, if ‘Das Boot’ wins, you don’t need the extended edition and they’ll offer you to watch it in VERY bad dubbed English. Skip that entirely. Do German with subtitles, you’ll be glad you did.

Henry Graham

Beyond embarrassing that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is going to win this poll.

Matt Rose
>>136577743

Excellent, excellent suggestions. I haven't seen all of these but the ones that I have are all worthy. TOKYO STORY, in particular, is an absolute must see. I'd also suggest ANOTHER ROUND.

Gábor Árki
>>136578364

Here. :D I was one of 2(?) who suggested it. I knew it doesn't have any chance, just wanted to give some recognition to the great Louis de Funès. His movies are huge around this part of the world, they are always on TV and almost everyone knows who he is.

rakesh

"On the day of the film's release, October 18, 1973, while Georges Cravenne, the film's publicity agent, was promoting the film, his second wife Danielle Cravenne [fr] hijacked an Air France B727 which was en route from Paris to Egypt.[6] Armed with a .22 long rifle and a fake pistol, she threatened to destroy the plane if the film was not banned. Cravenne declared herself to be a member of the solidarity movement for the French-Israeli-Arab reconciliation and considered the film's release unacceptable as it was being released during the Yom Kippur War.[7] Cravenne agreed to let the plane land in Marseille to refuel. French police disguised as maintenance workers boarded the plane and shot and killed her. Cravenne was 35 years old. The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob was still released." - I WANT TO WATCH THIS NOW!

Neil Varma

You guys are so mean voting for the girl with the dragon tattoo.. Cassie DO NOT

Chris Clarke

No sign of the one I suggested...😞

Ulf Jerlström

"män som hatar kvinnor" or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a great first movie in the millenium series you almost need to commit to all 6 movies to get the best experience IMO the Akira Kurosawa movies are masterpieces but you really need to get into a slow movies that teels a story vidually as much in the action about a time vhere Japan was very poor and famine ruled the lands

Eugene Hahn

Das Boot. In original German version please. English dubbed version loses very much feeling and emotion. Original German version has subtitles.

Paul Stelter

Have to go with Das Boot, even though I'm highly claustrophobic. (And yes I saw it in a theater; it was almost as rough for me as for the people on screen...) The theatrical version is 150 minutes, but if you watch the Director's Cut (209 minutes) probably best to break it into two uploads.

sarCC

While I would normally vote for the original Dragon Tattoo, Run Lola Run is one of my all-time favorite films. So inventive, smart, creative, funny, thrilling and romantic. It's definitely one I always look forward to showing someone who hasn't seen it. It's just amazing. I do hope you eventually watch it.

John Rando

I don’t think I’d recommend The Girl With the Dragon tattoo to Cassie. That said, Swedish version is better. The extended version (40 mins longer) is even better. The pacing, story and the reveals are done better than the American ver. It’s also more graphic. Personally I love the Swedish version and thought the American version was a cash grab too afraid to tell such a brutal story.

Mike Lemon
>>136576542

Why do you make this 2014 comment on almost every post? It was cringe-worthy then and has only gotten worse.

Thomas Thompson

I voted for the bicycle thieves, even though I know it will lose. It’s an excellent film however, at the risk of sounding critical Italian neo realism (which influenced generations of filmmakers around the world) begins with Rossellini‘s open city, which he began filming in the streets of Rome days after the German army had left the city. It is ultimately I think a more important film than a bicycle thieves.

Henry Graham
>>136578932

Personally I think they're both trash, but at least Fincher knows what he's doing with a camera.

Paul Stelter
>>136577226

The throwaway Rashomon joke on "The Simpsons" is possibly my favorite Simpsons moment.

Uncle Phoenix

Had to vote for RASHOMON because it was my introduction to Japanese film.

Celeste McAllister
>>136578464

Absolutely yes it would be,add 'Life is Beautiful' 'The Devil's Arithmetic' 'Conspiracy' 'The Grey Zone' 2001...

Matt Rowland

It won't win but you should totally see Bicycle Thieves. I watched that in a film class in college, and let me say, I want as many people to experience those 90 minutes of excruciating boredom as I had to sit through. It's a right of passage! LOL 🤣

Rosario Cicero

I’m peeved the Three Colors trilogy is not one of the options (having said that LOS DAS BOOT!!!)

BoyNamed_Sue
>>136579383

I prefer Cassie to watch the David Fincher version with Daniel Craig. She likes DC!!

Marja

I was able to vote for “all that apply,” so I went with TGWTDT as well as Bicycle Thieves and Cinema Paradiso.

Henry Graham

I voted for The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob because.... what the heck even is that?!

Matt Rowland
>>136578741

I watched this in a film class in college. No subtitles. It was the worst grade I got in the semester. It was excruciating to watch, lol. Though Rosemary's Baby was probably the most disturbing of all the films we watched.

Matt Atkinson

Downfall all the Way. An excellent movie

Richard Mouritzen

I'm just happy that a) there are foreign movie polls, and b) Cinema Paradiso is on one and getting some love, if not many votes.

sarCC
>>136580035

I feel the same way. The only thing that was an improvement, in my opinion, was the opening title sequence with Karen O's cover of "Immigrant Song."

Just Plain Bob

Cassie should seriously consider starting a monthly foreign movie reaction. She could start with the top four in each of the two polls she’s currently running. There’s just far too many superb foreign films to only watch one or two a year.

Alberto Gramatges

I'm the one who suggested Das Boot, but if that does get picked I wonder if Cassie should at some point down the road also watch U-571. Which is a more modern version of the same movie with differences. Some people argue it is better then than Das Boot.

Sean Stuart

Disappointed not to see Hero (2002) not on either poll

Hiraoka Toru

Who thinks U 571 is better than Das Boot?

Bill Hayden

Rashomon, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Das Boot... decisions, decisions.

Henry Graham
>>136581298

Also it's surely the only film that has a section on its Wikipedia page about how the wife of the film's publicity agent protested its release by hijacking a plane (!!!) and getting killed over it. Crazy stuff

Philip Alan

RUN LOLA RUN!! Let's GOOOO! :)

ArsTropica

Too many good choices. I want to see Dragon Tattoo, but I know that it is going to be a tough watch for Cassie.

Patrick Egan
>>136577162

I don't think one is clearly superior to the other, I think it's interesting to see the different choices each one made in adapting the book.

Farbod

People sleeping on Run Lola Run.

Bert Towle

I'm delighted to see one of my votes in the middle of the pack rather than near the bottom!

Johnny
>>136582594

LOL - No, It's not the modern version of Das Boot. It's not even remotely the same movie, and it is NO WAY better than Das Boot.

Philip Herman

Although it probably won’t win, I know you and Carly would love Cinema Paradiso.

Happy Hanukkah
>>136578364

I'm the other. :-) For those unfamiliar with it: It's a French comedy from 1973, starring the great actor Louis de Funes. It's a broad farce, very much of its time. Plot: a bigoted and irascible French bourgeois finds himself on the run and having to disguise himself as a Hassidic rabbi, together with an Arab revolutionary. Hilarity ensues.

Allison

Cinema Paradiso isn't going to win but I think you would love it. A lovely and touching movie about movies. And Rashomon is so important for its influence on so many other films that came after it.

James

The Kite Runner

AC5555
>>136581065

My opinion but it’s a film 101 movie and for good reason. I’ve seen it so many times now and there’s still nothing I can dislike about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It hurts me emotionally in general.

AC5555
>>136582309

It’s great to see her starting to pay more attention to foreign films

ExploreWinnipeg

those are of course excellent akira Kurosawa films but id start you off with Ikiru.

Ria Grix

Sad to see some of the most iconic and absolute legends of cinema getting such low votes. Bicycle Thieves is quite literally one of the most influential films in cinema history, I can’t count the amount of times movie directors and actors quote it as being one their favourites. Voted No.2 in BBC Culture's poll of 209 critics in 43 countries for the greatest foreign-language film of all time. Rashomon is the movie that really broke Japanese cinema into the west and consistently appears in all time greatest movie charts. Like Top 100 Essential Films of All Time by the National Society of Film Critics. Clint Eastwood probably owes Toshiro Mifune’s Yojimbo as the starting point for his entire career. Certainly every cowboy and San Francisco based cop he ever played was heavily influenced by Mifune.

John Neiberger

The original Swedish version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of my all-time favorites. I love that movie. Das Boot would be great, too, but it's pretty darn long. One movie I'd love to see added is The Lives of Others. Freaking amazing movie. Also, Hara Kiri would be a great choice.

Ria Grix
>>136577743

Yep. Some veeeery good suggestions in here. Just the first four alone are absolute essential viewing.

Ria Grix
>>136588282

…oh and Alain Delon in Le Samurai is just the epitome of continental cool.

Christopher B.

This poll is impossible to pick from, they are all so good.

Stick Figure Studios

With all the great classic foreign films in these two polls, I'm disappointed that the titles leading are a) the most recent and b) they darkest and/or scariest. Sigh. :-/

2-Can

That's a very solid list.

Lamar Smith
>>136578889

I absolutely agree with you but ‘Das Boot’s’ dub is particularly abysmal.

Jacob King

Le Samourai and Run Lola Run are two of my favourite movies so it’s an easy vote. Dragon Tattoo is a rough watch.

Lamar Smith
>>136578889

I saw a particularly funny news piece about a German-speaking Swiss boy who came to America for a year of foreign exchange. He wanted to go out for American football and Coach was going to have to cut him for his own safety. Until the young man came out and showed off his soccer prowess by kicking 50 yard field goals. Clearly Coach had a QUICK change of heart. So, he gets going and his teammates assign him the nickname ‘Das Boot.’ The confused Swiss boy went to Coach asking, “Why are they calling me ‘The Boat.’ Coach chuckled and set him straight.

Galen Prenevost

I know romantic comment is your favorite and cinema Paradiso is so beautiful award-winning and a gorgeous musical score by Ennio Morricone. You’ve got to watch cinema Paradiso and you will cry …a lot

Damien beatty

Yeah, I agree with Stick Figure on this one. Maybe next time have it be Pre-2000 and post 2000 at least.

Philip G.

Bummed Your Name wasn't on this

zynjams

Brutal rape scenes is not my form of entertainment, dragon tattoo is horrendous

zynjams

I wish Like Water for Chocolate would have made this list. Great Mexican love story

Brian Lowery

Shall We Dansu? should be on this list as well. Beautiful film. Also, Pan’s Labyrinth.

John

I think Yojimbo could be a week of it and clones, the way the Sevens week was, since that plot has been used many different times. Have it, the first Leone spaghetti Western with Eastwood, A Fistful of Dollars, and Last Man Standing, the Bruce Willis gangster movie together.

John

For a truly awful example of it, try the Warrior and the Sorceress with David Carradine, lol

AC5555

All of these need to be watched on her channel. Let’s be real. 😌

AC5555
>>136591998

Too relatable for me. Being ultra romantic. Loving films. Leaving home and everything I’ve ever known to be a filmmaker.

AC5555
>>136588282

Every single one of these films needs to be seen. And many more.

Joe M

Where is “The Worst Person in the World “?

Rich H

How is Cinema Pardiso not polling higher? It's an absolute materpiece

Richard Maurer
>>136582665

A future Martial Arts poll would be great, but if Enter the Dragon is in it the poll is over before it begins.

Biggman83

Never thought I’d see the day when ‘Bicycle Thieves’ and ‘Yojimbo’ are on a poll. Great must see movies! Shame they’re not going to win.

Richard Maurer

Voted Rashomon, GWtDT, while good, is still somewhat overrated and is part of a trilogy anyway. And what's with the people saying to watch the Fincher version? You do understand this a FOREIGN movie poll, right? Same with Gojira (Japanese) vs Godzilla (American/Japanese).

Lachrisho

Cinema Paradiso is right up your alley! It's a shame it doesn't get more votes

Biggman83

Why is Girl with a Dragon Tattoo winning, another wasted poll.

Stranger2Reality
>>136576521

100% agreed. THAT SCENE (we all know which one, well both of them with those characters really) is one where Cassie absolutely will not be able to watch it.

Shehab Dawoud
>>136577226

It was very clever but your favorite? The Cape Fear episode will forever be at the top. Bake him away, toys!

rakesh
>>136602878

Yeah i havent. TBH the only ones I voted for are the ones i've seen and really enjoyed which is run lola run and downfall

David

Dragon Tatoo is a very difficult movie to watch.

zynjams
>>136594722

so youre one of the bros that want to bring garbage to this channel.

Alberto Gramatges
>>136582594

Maybe "modern version" was incorrect to say. But is it not a similar movie? I haven't seen Das Boot and U-571 in a very long time, but when U-571 came out I know a lot of people were saying it's a "rip-off" of Das Boot since they tell a similar kind of story with similar plot points and some similar scene shots. I do remember people saying Das Boot was a more dramatic film but U-571 was more entertaining which is why they liked it better.

Richard Maurer
>>136594722

Spoiling a movie is always wrong, no matter what your feelings about the movie being spoiled are.

Richard Maurer
>>136612616

This poll was basically designed to give GWtDT the win. It and Das Boot are the only two films in the poll most average movie fans have heard of.

AzraRillian

it might be worth noting, for those unaware, that Run Lola Run will be getting a re-release in theaters this summer with 4k restoration, since it's the 25th anniversary.

Shanwyn Nightfox

Oh, das Boot, finally. Was wondering about that ever since your Hunt for Red October reaction. It's by far the best submarine movie ever made, and it shows a side of WW2 most americans never think about. So it has my vote!

rakesh
>>136594722

I haven't watched the movie. Your opinion and feelings are irrelevant and not for debate when you post spoilers. You could have easily explained your displeasure without resorting to such tactics and your reaction to continue to provoke instead of doing what you should have done at the begining and edit your comment tells me all I need to know about you.

KJ
>>136602878

AGREED! This is has all the elements of a love story her and Carly want; flashbacks, romanticism and young love. They need to see this movie!

KJ
>>136576703

Agreed - this is perfect for her and Carly to react to. Has all the elements they want; flashbacks, romanticism and young love.

Richard Maurer
>>136576542

In case my rant below has nothing to do with why you're cancelling (since you didn't say), please disregard. Why are people canceling in the foreign film polls? Did you honestly think the older classic ones would win? Older movies will never beat newer ones, maybe once in a great while, at best. Why do you think I'm always pushing for a classics only horror poll? Because they have no shot against newer horror films, in case you didn't know the answer. Before I even voted I knew the two leaders in this poll would be GWtDT and Das Boot. The fact that Gojira is in 2nd place in the other poll was pleasant surprise, but probably has more to do with name recognition for most people.

Stephen Dias

I've seen my share of foreign movies, but have only seen three of these. To be fair, I can't really count "Das Boot": it was a midnight showing and I fell asleep. It will be interesting to see which are chosen.

Celeste McAllister
>>136578464

Not horror It's history,it's about remembrance and it did happen,I've visited Amsterdam and the 'Anne Frank' house,that day had a huge affect on me..

Stephen Dias
>>136592826

Well, if we're going to do anime, I'd include "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas." Romantic, but sad.

Richard Maurer
>>136578464

To be serious (for a moment, anyway) - As a lifelong horror fan, holocaust films while important, are way more traumatizing than horror films.

Above Average Dave

I think Kung Fu Hustle will fall into the same reaction category as Big Trouble in Little China. Just a guess.

Jeffrey Schmidbauer
>>136576542

Don't worry about it. I cancelled my membership two or so weeks ago. I feel PiB has gotten too big. I don't participate as much. It wasn't worth the expense. I can still enjoy Cassie on YouTube.

Zane From Canada

Downfall is an amazing movie. Bruno Ganz portrayal of Adolf Hitler was completely unexpected. Being able to convey that even the worst kind of person in the world has some semblance of humanity is powerful. Ganz should've been nominated for an Oscar that year. Kevin Bacon gave a similar performance that same year in The Woodsman.

Clay F
>>136594722

dragon tattoo is excellent. Cassie said she very much liked the Starz Outlander TV series. ENews on Outlander: "the most graphic and disturbing rape scenes ever to air in the history of television."

Clay F

I voted The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009), Das Boot (1981), and Downfall (2004).

Chris Thom

Had never heard of Cinema Paradiso before, but just watched the trailer and it looks really good. Going to try to find that on a streamer. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo could be a fun...thriller reactions are some of the best on the channel in my reaction. But if you're going to watch that one I think it should be the Fincher version. It's the superior version in almost every way.

Chris Thom
>>136602878

Haven't seen it. But I want to. Looks like classic Oscar Bait...and I kinda dig that.

Johnny
>>136582594

They are similar in that they are both submarine movies. That's it. Totally, completely different movies though.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

I don't want to take away from Downfall, this is a very good movie that Bruno Ganz who played Hitler should have a Academy Award for. I was blown away. I am very fluent in German so, I didn't even need subtitles. Just because one scene in the movie gets recreated over and over again all over YOUTUBE doesn't mean anything. It shouldn't take away from anyone's choice.

KJ
>>136585437

if there's enough buzz about CP - I would hope Cassie / Carly will watch it anyway and love every second of it. It's EXACTLY what they want out of a movie; romance, flashbacks, tender moments about a boy growing up and finding his first love....it won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1990 for a reason!!!!

Rose
>>136668290

Cinema Paradiso is wonderful. Have you seen the silent classic “The Passion of Joan of Arc”? If you have, then you’ve already seen a “landmark of cinema.” If not, then you’re in for a riveting cinematic experience. The full English version is uploaded on YT (see Public Domain Diary channel) with the Voices of Light score - Renée Jeanne “Maria” Falconetti gives a performance of a lifetime - arguably the greatest performance ever captured on film.

rakesh
>>136576542

2014 was a fine year, but saying " first" goes beyond that. I used to be quite the regular $hit poster on aintitcoolnews and it was de rigueur to have first "first" comments on a thread. Cassie herself has done it. And it's all good fun.

Chris Thom
>>136668290

Haven't seen many foreign to be honest. Ashamed to say. Maybe 25-30 tops. Excluding English, Australian and some South African. Last real foreign thing I saw was My Brilliant Friend on HBO. Enjoyed that one quite a bit.

JackTupp

What a tough choice! Back when Netflix was actually still good, I was introduced to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo... non subbed. I loved that movie so much I eventually went to an art house showing of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. Never done anything like that before or since. Das Boot, on the other hand, an old roommate basically said here, have you seen this, so I watched it. It was really dated but so gripping and compelling. I honestly couldn't believe I watched the whole thing.

Richard Mouritzen
>>136668290

For a first time viewing of Cinema Paradiso, if you have a choice I recommend that you watch the shorter 124 minute version. This is the original international theatrical release which won at Cannes and the Academy Awards.

Chris Thom
>>136709631

You saw the Fincher remake then went to the theater for the sequels? Or you saw the Swedish GWTDT?

Björn Karlsson
>>136592126

....or a certain year from a certain country. Lets say (totally random) 1998 and Sweden 😅😉

Kyle Prince

Das boot looks good. It was in Original German and English Dub when it came out. My parents had both versions.

LDC7080

What’s the classification of a foreign movie when PiB has a worldwide audience?

Hey Cassie, if you watch the movie "Das Boot", it's best to watch the director's cut from 1997. It's even more intense than the theatrical version

If Intouchables(2011) isn't on it, I'm not interested

If you ever get around to Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. exercise caution I love that movie but it can be very tough to watch I would say the darkest film Fincher has done.

Too late to vote, but don't miss Cinema Paradiso. For cinema lovers.
