So... what are some must see foreign films you've seen?

I'm into gorey horror flicks, so I have to recommend Battle Royale (1 and 2) as well as Ichi the Killer. It was the movie that inspired Quinten to make the Kill Bill series, but for those with easily excitable stomachs, be-warned..

 

There's this one film I saw on TV a few years ago. It was shot in Italian with Spanish subtitles, and there were maybe 50 total lines of dialogue, but it was absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's a shame I can't remember the name. It was the epitome of a psychological thriller.

And then I saw Hot Shots Part Deux on Mun2 (Spanish) and it was even funnier than the original.

I don't even know what I'm talking about. I can touch my toes though.

"The Brotherhood of the Wolf" - French film, action-adventure, martial arts, Monica Bellucci

Amelie - excellent French film

Lola rennt - or "Run, Lola, Run" - German film

Bread and Tulips - Italian film--slow in spots
