I liked "House of Flying Daggers" soon to be released in theatres this December by Sony Classics. It was part of the film fest. Similar to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/Hero. The special effects were pretty good but the scenery of the shooting locations was just amazing. It's mostly a love story but with some action thrown into the mix. You can probably find it at the asian video stores already.
No, it was Dierdre. Wait, was it a fake?
Come to think of it, I *did* see the CN Tower in the background, and one of the stars looked remarkably like Mom...
FARK!

It certainly made me want to go searching for willing Turkish ladies! She was pretty cute.Manji said:A movie called "Dirty Pretty Things" is supposed to be really good. Caught some of it on TMN and it looked pretty interesting. Has the girl from Amelie in it!
I recently saw Raise the Red Lantern on DVD and highly recommend it.
Other foreign favorites of mine which aren't so recent:
Vivre Sa Vie
Mama Roma
Love and Anarchy
as well as anything by Ingmar Bergman.

Excellent film and depressing at the same time.lenharper said:City of God. Best movie of last year. From Brazil.
If you're a fan of beautiful French actresses, I recommend "8 Women". Cougars like Catherine Deneuve and Fanny Ardant, as well as younger gorgeous ladies like Emmanuelle Béart and Virginie Ledoyen. It's a murder mystery, screwball comedy and sort of a musical too, where each of the characters burst into song at some point in the film. The colour is as lavish as the old Technicolour films and each lady is colour-coded in her costume design, giving a visual impression of an all-female version of the boardgame, "Clue".
