Movies where English is not the primary language. jh Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 04:00:35 PM
Do you enjoy watching foreign movies? Animated or live-action?


I watch very little animated stuff. Live action is the way to go.

What are your all time favorites?


Cidade de Deus
Det Sjunde Inseglet
Jean de Florette

Fucking Åmål was a good one too.
Goodbye Lenin?

Umm. I think I'll stop there.

Which cultures (nations) films do you find yourself most interested in?


*shrugs*

Do you prefer dubs over original language, in live-action and/or animated?


I hate dubs in all forms.

How did you find yourself becoming interested in foreign films, (i.e. Audrey Tautou obsession, Asian horror obsession, general interest in foreign culture)?


More or less general interest in movies?

What 'hyped' foreign film has let you down upon viewing it (if any)?


Meh. Most swedish ones?

How do you feel about remakes, are there any that have been pulled off successfully?


Sure there are. I can't remember which ones, though.

Wild Things is only my 5th all time favourite so I guess that puts a dent in your theory AgentOrange - 28/09/2009 02:09:28 PM 491 Views
