Decades ago I went to an artsy movie theater with a friend and we saw the Chinese film "A Great Wall". The plot involves a Chinese- American family visiting relative in Vina as well as some native Chinese friends who are not part of the family story but juxtapose the lives of young Chinese national with those of the Americans
Uniquely the opening and closing of this movie is in English (while in America) with Mandarin subtitles with the bulk of the plot presented in Mandarin with English subtitles while in China. I
I will need to revisit this one as I saw it almost 40 years ago! This in a theater with broken air conditioning on.a sweltering Texas summer night,! It did add a layer to the experience of the characters in China during a hot summer!
RRR was definitely amazing. I don't think I could pick just one. Some of my favorites are Amores Perros, Amelie, City of God, Downfall, Life is Beautiful, Battle Royale, House of the Flying Daggers.
Really? Lol I think RRR was over rated but it did well compared to other desi movies to even reach mainstream audiences so I'll always celebrate that lol
Maybe not the very best but this is the first one that came to mind because it was ahead of its time: a Korean movie called The Housemaid (1960). I believe I caught it on TCM.
@AngelUnforgiven - there is noise and dialogue of sorts but you'd have to see it to understand what I mean. A French film but universal due to the no dialogue aspect
@workathome So good...came out right around that time after Crouching Tiger where there were so many good martial arts films. Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower, House of the Flying Daggers.
I have three that I absolutely love and highly recommend: Chariots of Fire (1980) [media=https://youtu.be/b2PjXif9mpQ] Diva (1981) [media=https://youtu.be/Xe0fzh7MJZo] El Amor Brujo (1986) [media=https://youtu.be/-T3TYUNQPA4]
@ShenaniganFoodie OMG. I had a huge crush on her, were you her daughter's son, Isabel rosilini i believe? I can't remember her name, but she was a gorgeous woman as well, and was scantily clad in some.
