well, if you've seen Battle Royale, see Battle Royale 2.

and of course OLDBOY. can't not watch that. that's the epitamy of all 'foreign' that i've seen.

then again, hollywood films are 'foreign' to me, so really... 'foreign' just doesn't really count in film description, more just 'not made in america/uk/bollywood' really.

anywhos -

the Hideo Nakata 'Ring' films are 123985329325 times better than the american releases, watch those too. those are -

Ring, Ring 2 and Ring 0 (zero) and in that order. the ring 0 is a prequel, about samara when she was younger. and oh so worth watching. you see WHY she is the way she is.

there's so much more in them. soooo much more. i won't spoil.

the red balloon is another 'foreign favourite', as well as finfin de la tulipe (not sure if i've spelt that right. they're not my favourites, but are popular foreign favourites.

i'll post back when i think of more.
