Do you watch foreign movies?

What are your favorites?

I love time travel films. I often google too see if I missed any. Somehow every page about time travel films missed this brilliant piece of art, 'The Man From the Future' 2011, a Brazilian film. It randomly showed up in the International section of Netflix. The most moving time travel and possibly the most romantic film I have ever seen. Easily the best time travel film since the BTTF trilogy. By the end I was both in awe and in floods of tears at how moving it was.

It's a real shame we often limit ourselves by the utter popcorn bullshit that Hollywood churns out. When I look for films on Netflix or other such services, I looks for films from the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s/00s that I might have missed.

Films these days mostly seem to be based on current IP, sequels upon sequels. More and more superheros films. Zzzzz.

I miss real films, with real characters. Getting so tired of CGI laden sci-fi epics that are so blase, hankneyed and without soul or substance.

I should see more. I used to watch Kurasawa. Also a great trilogy called Pusher. Brilliant. I'll check out The Man from the Future, thanks.

@SW-User Pusher trilogy sounds just like my cup of tea too, thank you.

@SW-User Ran kind of sounds like Azumi? Have you seen that one?

It's one of the best and most moving films about Samurai, Ninjitsu and ancient Japanese warlords.

@LaCrazyCucumber I’ll check it out now! Didn’t know it. Not an area I know a lot about.

@SW-User You'll love it. It's one of the best Japanese martial arts ever made. The main protagonist 'Azumi' is also stunningly beautiful.
