Good foreign movies (foreign = subtitles)

[Meownaw]

Anything by this based Jap. Takeshi Kitano

 

[Prince Bvstin]

Das Experiment (German) hard to find)
Little Otik (Hungarian stop motion horror)
Just about all Italian horror is pretty good imdb could probably run off a list quicker than I could)
Cook up a storm (Cantonese cooking film, quite nice)
All of the Ip Man films are fun to watch if only for the anti American propaganda and the Mike Tyson cameo.
Eega (Makkhi) (Hindi) is one of the most bizzare and fun stories I've ever seen.
Lenningrad Cowboys Go America (Russian comedy)
Es Vider Da (German) about Hitler coming back to life in Modern Berlin. Comedy.
If you're quite artsy theres a lot of good French cinema from the 50s, sort of nice to relax to. "Les Diaboliques" springs to mind.
Pulse (2001) Japanese is a good horror film if you're okay with Asians jabbering on. Bit like the original Ring.

Tried to give you a wide spectrum. If there's something you like particularly I could try narrow down a bit.

If you like Pulse you should watch Cure.

On the Silver Globe is a legit sci-fi masterpiece and I never see anyone talk about it. Polish.
Nights of Cabiria. I'm not really a big Fellini fan but this one really is great. Italian.
System Crasher is a somewhat recent German film about a problem child.
The Lives of Others is probably my facourite German film.
Umbrellas of Cherboug and The Young Girls of Rocherfort, two of the greatest musicals brought to film. French.
Daisies. No idea how to even descirbe this one but it's Fantastic. Czech.
The Ascent. Two Soviet soldiers leave their band.

Just some that I don't think I saw anyone else mention.

I've posted this before. The fucked up thing is that a lot of it is real. The autopsy on the boy is real.

If you like Pulse you should watch Cure.

There was a Brad Renfro movie in the 90s called The Cure where he abducts his friend who has childhood AIDS and tries to cure him by making him eat random plants and stuff. I realize how hilarious that sounds, but it's actually not very good.

 

[Dog Eater]

Apparently 'good' means arthouse to a lot of people. Ugh,.

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

Just watch the Español dub of Good Burger.

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

Downfall, except for the downer ending.

yea I was really rooting for that plucky mustachio'd people

only kinda counts since it got wide release here but Kung Fu Hustle was good.
not for everyone but it's like a tarantino film but paying homage to hong kong films

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

the Rurouni Kenshin live action isn't bad. and the prequel they made more recently. I Saw the Devil is dark but it's pfg. The main character is this guy who is Korean Military Intel who hunts down this serial killer who murdered his gf. basically seems like he's Korean equivalent of CIA

Shaolin Soccer also watches pretty good and it’s by the same director.

Just watch the Español dub of Good Burger.

Is it true Dan Schneider is into things?

 

[guest]

WWAWD Train to Busan? What's the point of watching sad movies like that? I don't like to be sad...

 

[LiberalPussy]

Is it true Dan Schneider is into things?

He’s a fat subhuman Jew demon. Of course he is.

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

Is it true Dan Schneider is into things?

I've gone into it before, but he made me jerk him off to completion with my feet for my role. And I have horrible arthritis!

 

[Not bad]

Fun fact, that movie takes place in 1980. It's never mentioned explicitly.
