I've never seen an Indian movie. I guess I missed lots of fun  

Laukev7:
Bah, I'm getting fed up of all those repetitive Hollywood movies. They all look so samey, and are full of cliches, and very predictable.

jasonlane:
Microsoftie, as it were      

I agree they so often have no passion, no guts. Then again they are the lowest common denominator, that's what happens when you have to, or try to, please everyone.

I really like Japanese movies, the "Ring" series was great. Seven Samurai is perhaps one of my all time fav films. Story telling at it's zenith.

I guess my original list would change now thinking about it.

Haven't seen many foreign movies, but I found that the few of them I listened to were much better than most american movies. They are much more realistic, too (or in the case of fiction, more sensical). I should watch more movies; maybe I was tired of cinema because of all the crap spewed by the american industry. I'm sure there ARE some good american movie, but they are all buried by all the Hollywood crap.

If you haven't seen it I would hightly recommend "Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa, get the subtitled version as well, dubbed is crap. It think you'd like it.

And of course and I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, Frizt Lang's "Metropolis"

Also the Michael Radford version of George Orwells 1984 staring John Hurt is fantastic.
