This is one of my favorite Thai films. Depressing but somehow makes me feel good. the two sisters in the film are so ridiculously hott IMO too.

I think this thread already hit on my favorites, but redundancy never stopped me.

Oldboy - just saw this, because of a similar thread. thanks for the hook up 2plus!

Battle Royale - maybe my fave foreign film

City of Lost Childern

Secuestro Express - This is the chit if you're into drug-action movies.

City of God

Y Tu Mama Tambien


...and of course, the Godzilla movies rule forever.

The Decalogue

It's listed as a TV series - but it's not made like a TV series. Every feeling in the human spectrum is on display here - and somehow despite using the Ten Commandments as a backdrop, it is rarely preachy.

Das Boot

I don't think I saw this listed by anyone - fantastic film about a German U-Boat during World War II. It's been released in formats from 2½ hours to 6 hours - however long it is, it's probably worth it. Terrific thriller; how Wolfgang Petersen ended up making Hollywood dreck after this film, I'm not sure.

Andrei Rublev

For very pretentious people only - but if you stay with it, the ending is transcendent. A lot of scenes will have little explanation and it's tough to follow.

That's the only book I've read in French. How about Taxi? I am scandalised to see it only got 6.6 on IMDB.
