Favourite non-English language films

[Loony BoB]

The Intouchables (aka Untouchable) is my new favourite non-English language film. Beforehand it was probably City of God.

Other really good ones off the top of my head: Amelie, Downfall, Oldboy, Elite Squad.

• @Suicide Room (Poland)

I always thought American Beauty was a pretty nice movie.

-edit-
This post was made before BoB changed it from "foreign" to "non-english.

I've got The Girl Who Leapty Through Time bookmarked, but have yet to get round to watching it. I still know nothing about it; just bookmarked it on a whim of interest.

I remember watching a French film from the... 80s, I think, about the plague. I remember a crow touching a man's arm and him setting fire to it. I wish I could watch that film again.

There was also a really good French film about a bank robber's path of redemption. The ending was the best chase scene I have ever seen on film. Too bad the name escapes me. French cinema is the best but I thought City of God was just ok.
