Right guys/gals
Having again watched Pan's Labyrinth again the other night which for me is the greatest Foreign Language Movie ever made
I would like to see a list of your top 3 movies ever

mine
1
Pan's Labyrinth
2
Cinema Paradiso
3
City of God

Oh God, um...

Les Diaboliques
1900
The White Balloon

For me at least it would have to be rotating all the time between a much bigger number of entrants

La Dolce Vita
The Double Life of Veronique
Chungking Express

But this is like mini-battenburgs, three isn't enough.

The shorter version of Cinema Paradiso is one of the best films of all time Foreign Language or not. It`s hard to believe that Salvatore Cascio who played Toto the child is now 30.

My Choice...

1. Cinema Paradiso.

2. Napola

3. Gomorrah

I love that fight scene in Old Boy where he fights all the guys outside the flat.Awesome.
Other South Korean movie i liked is that one with the sea monster that comes ashore.Can't remember the name of it,but it was well strange (and scary).

[Deleted User] · 20/02/10 - 22:26

The Virgin Suicides
La Belle A La Bete
Y Tu Mama Tambien

Tough though, I love Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage and Oldboy and A Tale Of Two Sisters are excellent.

[Deleted User] · 20/02/10 - 23:12

Oh and the French films Amelie and Apres Vous are wonderful also.

[Deleted User] · 21/02/10 - 00:42

1. City Of God
2. Y Tu Mama Tambien
3. A Prophet

Other films that I've also gone on to admire are La Zona, Linha De Passe, The Motorcycle Diaries and In The City of Sylvia just to name a few.

Great thread by the way, haven't seen some of the fav's mentioned on here which I'd definitely like to check out. Which really reminds to watch Pan's Labyrinth, cant believe i still haven't seen that

3 - Der Untergang aka Downfall

Aesa · 21/02/10 - 18:15

Pans Labyrinth ('mazing)
A La Folie, Pas Du Tout (spelling might be off there!)
Grave of the Fireflies (although I do watch it dubbed...)

RecordPlayer · 21/02/10 - 18:24

The Leopard-(il gattopardo)
The Desert of the Tartars.-(il Deserto dei Tartari)
Rome, Open City or Lives of others....

...also Fellini films, and I still haven't seen 'Gomorrah' or 'City of God' yet, so I may change my mind
