Some foreign film recommendations . . .


In honor of our poll about foreign films (to the right and a little lower), I thought I'd share some recommendations.

Heavy on action and humor (I love the harpist assassins!), you'll forget you're even watching a foreign film:
Kung Fu Hustle Find it in the catalog!

Great characters and setting, with a fulfilling ending:
Amelie Find it in the catalog!

Another action flick (and not too many subtitles):
Run Lola Run Find it in the catalog!

Two well acted and suspensful films:
Read My Lips Find it in the catalog!
The Lives of Others (2006 Foreign Film Oscar winner) Find it in the catalog!

Do you have any foreign films that you'd recommend?
