Default Great Foreign Films

A Beautiful Life (Italian)
Amelie (French)
Love me if you Dare (French)
Tae Guk Ki (Korean)
Eat drink man woman (Chinese - directed by ang lee)
My Sassy Girl (Korean)

Anyone got any other great foreign movie suggestions. Most of the ones I listed are dramas or romantic comedies but Tae Guk Ki is a great action movie. Kind of like Korea's version of Saving Private Ryan.

Do any of Clint Eastwood's 1960 westerns count here--they were done in Italy--hence spaghetti western-as I'm sure yall know

I think Amelie is the only foreign film I have seen!
It was great, a really good story.

I know that foreign films often have better storylines than english films.. I just dont enjoy reading sub titles.
