    Great lens - I'll have to look for some of these titles. Some of my favorite foreign films are Babette's Feast, Italian for Beginners, and Of Gods and Men.

    great list of movies. I really like Run Lola Run.
  • anusk1313 Oct 1, 2011 @ 7:09 am | delete
    Great list! I saw few from these movies, and my favourite movie director is Luis Bunuel, and the best movie I ever saw was Los Olvidados. I used to go a cinemagoer club during the highschool, and there I had the opportunuty to watch great movies.

    I bookmarked the page .. because I found great suggestions here .... and because I saw you are a real cinemagoer... I want to ask you something..

    In the past I saw a great movie ..it was not an american one ..made in 70-80 I guess... about a guy who has a prisoner in his dreams... And the guy (was a silhouette) from his dream was hunting him and his wife... At the end of the movie he was at the doctor with his wife and then he discovered that he was also in somebodyelse dream.

    I think the name of the movie was Crazy ...but I'm not sure.... So please if you know about what movie I'm talking tell the name and the country to find it. I asked on many forums but I didn't get any answer.

    Thank you!

  • gregoryolney Aug 19, 2011 @ 7:20 am | delete
    Very nice lens - but what do you consider to be a "foreign" film ? Many of your readers live in countries other than the USA - I'm in England, no doubt "foreign" to you, whereas you are foreign to me !

    Wow there is a lot on this page, it actually could have been two lenses...I really love these foreign films. I learned English going to the movies and then mom would take us to foreign films, my favorite were the French films..The Italian film always hurt my head, because I could never figure out what was going on.
  • Hairdresser007 Jan 15, 2011 @ 12:45 am | delete
    oh my gosh I spent almost a half hour on this lens! Great work. So many I've seen and so many more I want to see!!
  • BarbaraCasey Jan 9, 2011 @ 9:52 am | delete
    Wow, I've actually seen a few of these films... back when I lived in a city that had "alternative" movie houses. Have you seen the movie "Z" directed by Costa-Gavras?
  • Meloramus Oct 15, 2010 @ 3:58 pm | delete
    Great lens. I enjoy watching foreign films, especially Japanese Horror. My favourite foreign film is My Life as a Dog (Lasse Hallstrom). So moving.

    I really like this lens, such a good collection of movies... most of them were made a long time ago, but are still very impressive. I saw few of them as I was a child, but remember the music from them even now...

    Great lens! Must have taken you a lot of quality time, and passion, to put this together. Thumbs up from me; and I added you to the lensroll of my only movie lens - http://www.squidoo.com/hair_the_movie.
  • Craigm CAcon Apr 15, 2011 @ 12:50 pm | delete
    Well, I thought Fudge 44 was a film that made you really think about how different cultures influence our own, even without us realising it and so is probably one of the less obvious but most powerful foreign films. I don't agree with what everyone said abou the ethics of the voiceover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jac2-XMGd1w
  • Tipi Jul 30, 2010 @ 11:16 am | delete

    Thanks so much for visiting my Search & Rescue lens, which led me back here. Wow, what a list!

    I need some help finding a foreign film from Spain. It is set back in the time of the civil war in spain. A soldier gets hurt and a man's family takes him in. He falls in love with the man's daughters. I believe it was an award in winner in 2005. If anyone knows this movies please let me know. Thanks

    Very nice work, Meredith! It's plain to see that you spent quite a bit of time on this, and the result is just beautiful. VERY pleasant on the eyes, for sure. The film reviews were also very well done. Many of the films covered here were new to me, but the reviews made me want to check them out. And by the way, I'm following you on twitter!

    Wonderful lens, lots of gems in there. Surprised I didn't see "Jean de Florette" on the list. Have you seen it?
    5*!

    Thanks Toni for all the inspiration. I did love "Jean de Florette" but didn't have a clip to upload in YouTube. Will soon upload and then add to the lens.

    Cheers,

  • crosscreations Dec 15, 2009 @ 2:47 pm | delete
    Beautifully presented lens, excellent format and coverage of topic! That said, also feel content is too much overload for a Squidoo lens, meant to only be an intro to a larger piece. While the page is a beaut, also takes a VERY long time to load...mine is still loading ... loading...so I skimmed through and saw plenty of awesome content and consistent format throughout.
    Doubt many would wait as long as it might take to finish loading in entirety. I thought of using same water-movement kind of background once, but was warned of long loading time. That combined with the sheer number of reviews and vids here will definitely create such a huge load to likely detract from what you had hoped to accomplish, make sense?
    You might want to consider breaking this gorgeous content down to an assortment of smaller lenses to make it work. Best to YOU! 5*s anyway, given excellence in content and format, even though mine is STILL working hard on trying to LOAD the overload.
  • Obscure_Treasures Dec 15, 2009 @ 10:25 pm | delete
    Thanks much for the comment. I also think its suffering from speed and info overload. Will try to find a way to break it down. Thanks again for stopping by.

    What a lot of work you have put into this lens!

    My husband and I love to watch Foreign Films. They give a different perspective on life than what you find in Hollywood films.

    Thank you for introducing us to some new films that we are anxious to see.
