Do American films count as 'foreign' for me? 

Anyway, favourite films not in English:

Amelie
La Haine
Pan's Labyrinth
Goodbye, Lenin!
Olivier, Olivier
M
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari*
L'Auberge Espagnole
Run Lola Run
Nightwatch/Daywatch
House of Flying Daggers
Europa Europa
Pandora's Box*
Little Otik
Rashomon
Let the Right One In
ETA: La Reine Margot


Little Otik is one of the craziest, most fun films I've ever seen. You should totally watch it. I'm also going to outmyself as a ~cultural philistine and say I prefer the American dub of Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle. Idek, Christian Bale is a good Howl for me.

I hate this question. Nothing needs an American remake! NOTHING. Especially films already in English, gaaah.

Anyway, I'm sure I told you about studying Run Lola Run in English class at high school, and the girl who after we'd seen it three times kept saying, 'Miss, I just don't understand it.' She wasn't talking about the language or the subtitles, she just... couldn't comprehend the plot. IDEK.

This. It's so annoying how the basic terms of the question are, "what would make good fodder for AMERICAN culture?"!

I love La Reine Margot. Actually, I love lots of these. But it's nice to see that mentioned.
