Default Re: Last movies you saw

I'll watch any European or foreign film which is recommended to me or that is easily accessible here in the States.

It mainly just depends on what kind of becomes a "hit" over here, and I say that lightly because despite how many awards Let The Right One In has won, last time I checked it was still only playing in about 6 cities in the whole country.

Some classic European films I enjoy are Der Letzte Mann (The Last Laugh), Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel), Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) which is one of my favorites.

Of course I love Amelie, that's a great one. In the end, I still end up watching mainly American films, but subtitles don't bother me in the least and I'd say the % of quality European films is much higher because if it makes it to theaters over here, it's probably pretty good or else no one would have picked up the distribution rights.
