I suppose 'foreign', on a site as multi-national as this, can have many different meanings, generally I am referring to 'non-hollywood', or perhaps 'non-english', but answer how you wish.

I shall go the non-English route, if I may
Do you enjoy watching foreign movies? Animated or live-action?

Yeah, a good film is a good film
What are your all time favorites?

The orphanage, Pan's Labyrinth, Spirited Away, The Edukators, House of Flying Daggers and a fair few others whose titles i cannot recall as of the moment.
Which cultures (nations) films do you find yourself most interested in?

None in particular, if it get's good critical commentary and if i can find it i'll watch it.
Do you prefer dubs over original language, in live-action and/or animated?

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

Just if it gets good reviews or word-of-mouth. Same as any other film really.
What 'hyped' foreign film has let you down upon viewing it (if any)?

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

You mean Hollywoodisation? Not really a fan, to be hoenst.
That's all .

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 533 Views
