Happy Sunday everyone! It's movie suggestion time. The next poll is going to be Foreign Language Movies so let me know down below some movies to include in the poll 😁

Comments

Paul Bryant

“M” (1931) with Peter Lorre! His acting in this is phenomenal.

DaliiLars

Parasite (2019), for sure. I don't think you're quite ready for Oldboy. It's a tough watch.

Joshua White

Ooh! You're the best for offering this! If you're open to subtitles, the world opens up so much! How about some Harakiri? Or Old Boy?

Paul Newman

Robert Inman

Hey Dawn,I have three very much requested foreign language films..'Godzilla' 1954 the Japanese release not the cheesy US release..'Downfall' 2004⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Das Boot' 1981 German language release...

Mauler

Brotherhood of the Wolf was very enjoyable...most of my other suggestions would be horror so I'm not sure about that. This year's Shogun is a masterpiece though, if series are on the table.

Looking forward to whatever you decide. Ciao.

Jonathan Leak

Omg bak 2003 starring Tony Jaa (martial arts film Thailand)

Eric Janssen

We’ve had plenty of Seven Samurai reactions on the Reactor-verse, but still no Throne of Blood (Shakespeare goes samurai), or The Hidden Fortress, for Star Wars fans Also, plenty of Amelie, but no The Dinner Game, or the B/W 40’s Beauty & the Beast.

Wreath35

- Godzilla (1954) - The garden of the Finzi-Contini (1970) - 8 1/2 , Amarcord, La Dolce Vita, Cinema Paradiso. - Let the right one in (Sweden, 2008) - Parasite (Korean, 2019) - Metalhead (Málmhaus): Iceland . 2013

Das Boot and the original Gojira (aka Godzilla) are at the top of my list.

David Simon

Der Untergang (Downfall) (2004)

David Simon

Metropolis (silent) 1927)

David Simon

Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob (1973) (one of the few pure comedies besides Amelie you'll get in this category)

JD

Life is beautiful... the undubbed version obviously.

David Bennett

Chocolate, thai film from 2008 Crouch Tiger, Hidden Dragon House of Flying Daggers

JVTrickypants

One of the best ever that I feel is TRAGICALLY ignored is Life is Beautiful by Roberto Benigni. It is somehow a hilarious and touching movie an Italian family during WWII. Roberto Benigni is the first actor to win the Best Actor Oscar for a non-English speaking role. I honestly can't recommend this movie enough.

>>138433040

Oh man, I honestly think My Life as a Dog is the first foreign movie I watched one night as a teen when it was on IFC. It really got me interested and searching out foreign films because of how great the writing is (unlike lots of US films where they spend more money on special effects than the writers).

WouldYouKindly

"Brave Heart" lmao sorry low hanging fruit .....

Erik Brown

To Live by Zhang Yimou is just fantastic about a family growing up through the Chinese civil war. Such a beautiful film. Also Run Lola Run, staring Franka Potente who starred with Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity, a film about how simple choices can create completely different outcomes. Released the same year and similar to Sliding Doors that a lot of people seem to be more familiar with

Louis Marzullo
>>138446288

Couldn't agree more about the movie but we typically leave out spoilers, as per Dawn's preference to not know anything significant about it before watching.

Sam Nishi Saisho

DEPARTURES (Japanese); Actually, a heart-warming story about an unemployed man with a young wife who takes a job as a traditional funeral-assistant and the journey that it takes him on .. .. Heart-warming, really and a lesson to embrace those closest to you whenever you can .. ..

karey_island

WILDLAND (2020), female-led crime family drama

james flack

Any movie with the latest love of my life speaking Norsk...Ingrid Bolsø Berdal.........💓

karey_island

WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (1988), spanish comedy directed by Pedro Almodóvar

karey_island

VOLVER (2006), spanish drama starring Penelope Cruz directed by Pedro Almodovar

Simon

Godzilla minus one. And another vote for Life is Beautiful. And "M" by Fritz Lang.

karey_island

AFTER THE WEDDING (2006), the original danish version, an english-language version was made a few years later

Duke Pootentooter
>>138432951

If you make her watch Martyrs, she'll stop taking requests and lose all trust in any patron suggestions. For French horror, she might be able to handle Raw or High Tension, but Martyrs is at least 1 step (and probably 3 steps) too far.

Sam Nishi Saisho

How could I forget? CRASH LANDING ON YOU (Korean) >>> Dip your toe into the world of K-Soaps with this super-popular series from a few years back .. .. Romantic, funny with a bit of drama involving North Korea .. .. btw > There is a huge class-action lawsuit against the makers of the series for depicting North Koreans in a 'non-negative' light .. ..

karey_island

DREAMS (1990), A collection of tales based upon eight of director Akira Kurosawa's recurring dreams.

karey_island

double feature: THE EMIGRANTS (1971) and THE NEW LAND (1972), story of a swedish family that decides to emigrate to America in the mid-1800s

Chris Adams

City of God is really good

Brian L Hughes

Monsieur Hulot's Holiday by French Director Jacques Tati. 1953. Or one of his other movies, "Playtime" is a favorite of many. Do a search on Tati and see what people think of him...

JD

'Come and see' looks pretty interesting. I've never seen it but I've heard good things.

James B.

I'm a ride or die English stan, but I have to think Run Lola Run and The Red Balloon are a couple of great classics. The latter is more of a silent movie, but it's French-made, so I say that counts.

Duke Pootentooter

Some of my (relatively) recent favorites that I haven't seen mentioned yet: Son of Saul (2015) *Won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film No Man's Land (2001) *Won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film The Secret In Their Eyes (2009) *Won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film A Separation (2011) *Won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Amores Perros (2000) *Nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Wild Tales (2014) *Nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Maria Full of Grace (2004) *Nominated for Oscar for Best Actress 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days (2007) *Won Palm d'Or at Cannes Film Festival

The Dog Father

I'm going with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Great movie...

JVTrickypants
>>138446288

I didn't think I was sharing spoilers as that's basically in the synopsis, but totally understand and edited my comment! Thanks!

Carlos Perez

I have to mention at least ONE from the master of Giallo: Suspiria (1977).

Judy

For a fun French farce to lighten the mix: Le Diner de Cons (The Dinner Game) 1998. A dose of silliness! Or for something a bit darker, François Truffaut’s excellent Les 400 Coups (The 400 Blows) 1959.

FischerMax98

Let The Right One In and The Raid

Duke Pootentooter
>>138457134

"Come and See" is an excellent film, but it is pretty bleak. Highly recommended if you want a different viewpoint of WW2, but prepare yourself for 2 hours of emotional trauma.

Patrick Dillon

"Shall We Dance" - Japanese drama about a stiff conservative family man who secretly takes up Ballroom dancing.

Korny

Scottish movies are foreign language. With that in mind…Snatch.

Eric Janssen
>>138479735

If we have Scottish movies....Gregory's Girl. Non-negotiable. And yes, BEFORE Local Hero.

Robert Nelson

Das Boot - German Squid Game - Korean (a series, but it's excellent) The Black Book - Dutch All Quiet on the Western Front - German

Robert Nelson

OMG! How could I forget Apocalypto? What an EXCELLENT film by Mel Gibson! A little gory, but it puts you in the moment.

James Fleischman

La Femme Nikita (1990) - French - written by Luc Besson Taxi (1998) - French / Italian - written and directed by Luc Besson

john ruddick

Throne of Blood (that's why I sent you it!!!) :)

Ted Little
>>138479735

A Scottish film featuring some Gaelic is "I Know Where I'm Going." It is a must watch.

Ted Little

The German language, true story, "Sissi." (1955) and its sequels. Beautiful.

Corman Rockwell

La Dolce Vita, la Strada, Juliet of the Spirits [Fellini], The Virgin Spring, The Seventh Seal [Bergman]

rude alf mcglesga

The Closet (Original title: Le placard) 2001,comedy, stars Daniel Auteuil and Gérard Depardieu...A man spreads the rumor of his fake homosexuality with the aid of his neighbor, to prevent his imminent firing at his work....bloody funny*

Em McG

Here are some quirky ones that I like to recommend, ' Hero (2002) - Chinese, action/adventure ' The Host (2006) - Korean, a quirky family vs rampaging creature ' Hard Boiled (1992) - Hong Kong, action/detective ' Bandits (1997) - German, a rock 'n' roll road adventure ' Solaris (1972) - Soviet, sci-fi ' Baahubali (2015) - Indian, action/fantasy ' The Hidden Fortress (1958) - Japanese, Kurosawa, sure why not ' Rampo, The Mystery of (1994) - Japanese

Mark Crawford

"Don't Torture a Duckling" (1972) is not only excellent moral guidance, but also the title of a totally bonkers Italian film that has been a big influence on Tarantino. I'm sure you would love it!

john ruddick
>>138498410

It's his version of Macbeth so I thought it would be a good starting point seeing the context

Alvin Helms

Yojimbo (1961, Japanese) a Samurai movie directed by Akira Kurosawa, starring Toshiro Mifune. And then later, you can watch the exact same story, remade three years later into a Western: A Fistful of Dollars (1964) directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood.
