Better late than never. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 03:02:04 PM
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. :)

Do you enjoy watching foreign movies? Animated or live-action?

Yes. Both.

What are your all time favorites?

Amelie, Goodbye Lenin, Nowhere in Africa, Indochine, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle In the Sky, Hero, Howard's End, The Remains of the Day, Run Lola Run, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Muriel's Wedding, Downfall, The Lives of Others.

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

Germany followed by England, France, Australia, Japan.

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

No.

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

I read reviews of the films in the NYT.

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

None.

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

Hmmm.

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 458 Views
