In the mood for love/花样年华
Is my absolute favorite among so many Chinese and Japanese movies, the sheer level of acting, incredible feelings of stubbornness, loneliness, lust, love and ultimately loss hits me right in the feels, not to mention the intense level of photography within the film.

 

[JOE QUEEF]

Night on Earth is a 1991 film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. It is a collection of five vignettes, taking place during the same night, concerning the temporary bond formed between taxi driver and passenger in five cities: Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki.

The part from Italy. Hilarious.

The City of Lost Children.


The Princess and the Warrior.


Both are in my personal top 15 all time favorites.

 

[Gomi1977]

Martyrs definitely tops that list.

Raid: Redemption was cool.

Oldboy obviously.

Two Dutch classics, Mama is Boos (Mom's Angry) and Schatjes (Honeys). Terrific films, funny, violent, but very '80s.

 

[INTERL0PER]

A Prophet - A French prison film. It's easily one of my favourite films of all time, foreign language or not. The story it tells is complex, subtle and poignant. The performances, script, cinematography, all amazing.

Cannot recommend it highly enough.
