This post will likely be lost on some of you, but there are a few who might appreciate it. I have been rekindling my love for foreign movies lately and I thought I'd share a short list of my favs, in case anyone here wanted to pick up something a little different from the video store next time.
Oh, and if you like "Dude, Where's My Car?"...this list is probably not for you.
Amores Perros (Mexican) - Gritty, little story about dog fighting and back stabbing and relationships gone mad! Mad, I tell you!
Beijing Bicycle (Chinese) - Sad tale of a bike delivery boy in Beijing, who gets his bike stolen, tracks down the thief and basically has his life turned upside down by that *******.
Malèna (Italian) - Story of a young wife in a small Sicilian village that is scorned by the townsfolk, for being too beautiful, and the young boy who falls in love with her. Stars the ultra-sexy Monica Bellucci in the title role. Hot stuff, fellas!
In the Mood for Love (Chinese) - A visually stunning tale of unrealised love set in China. This is a beautiful movie.
Maelström (Canadian) - A woman runs over a man with her car, only to later fall in love with his grieving son. Horrific, and haunting.
Enjoy!! And if you know of any I should see, I'd sure like to hear about them...
