Yeah, that's about it for me as well.

I don't like to watch anything that requires subtitles no matter how good the film is.

Battle Royale. Which is Japanese. If you havn't seen it I recommend you do.

[Rool]

I love good foreign flicks:

Battle Royale
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Blind Swordsman Zatoichi
House of the Flying Daggers
Amelie
Casshern (i've seen it with no subs, i just made up my own plot, really cool scenery)

[The New Kid]

Open Your Eyes is an excellent, excellent foreign film. It spawned a remake (the crappy Vanilla Sky), but the original is still the best. It seems like a romance-type film, but it turns out to be more of a "Matrix-esque" film. The twist at the end is amazing.

I've seen a pretty good share of foreign flicks...Excluding the anime I watch. Mostly Chinese and Japanese...but some other stuff mixed in.

Battle Royale (good movie, but disapointing...because the novel was brilliant.)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Hero (Long before it came to theaters here.)
Brotherhood of the Wolf
The Mean Machine
Snatch ( I THINK this is British)
Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman (Beat Takeshi fans rejoice.)
Tokyo Raiders
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
The Life of Brian
Shaun of the Dead
Infernal Affairs (Re-making this for America with Matt Damon..it might be good.)
I've seen more...but I'm not gonna sit here and put them all XD

Why?
It's not like you're missing anything in the movie while you're reading.

Humans don't necessarily live in english speaking countries.

Yes I am. I'm missing all of the scenery shots.

Grave of the Fireflies

That movie made me cry. Insanely.

Not all the movies on my list are Korean...maybe I shoulda clarified.

But yes, Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most heartwrenching movies I've ever seen. It haunted me for days after watching it.
