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.

Amelie is a favorite along with any Japanese horror film. I find their horror flicks to be much more frightening.

@dragonfly46 I remember the poster for that.

@dragonfly46 Koreans and Japanese especially do make some amazing horror films. This one Korean horror film really scarred me but it was all psychological. Called 'Ryong' or 'Dead Friend' in English. About a girl who drowns in front of of her friends who don't try to save her and she comes back to haunt them.
@SW-User Good movie, check it out.
@LaCrazyCucumber I'll look into that. I haven't tried Korean horror yet. Thanks for the heads up.
