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..

Have you seen "Samurai Fiction" yet? It too inspired the "Kill Bill" series.
