Which country would you say produces the Best foreign Films

Technically speaking no-one makes foreign movies, because what is foreign to you is natural to them. I know it is tiresomely pedantic to put it like that, but to put it another way... on a multi-national board (which is British in origin), the question should be which non-US country makes the best movies, not who makes the best foreign ones.

Or we could go by the Hollywood definition of Foreign, which basically means non-English speaking.

Nit pick 😛

not really, kes
for me, hollywood is making foreign movies, for an american it's not

Yes I know. But its obvious by foreign movies ppl mean non-US.
And so far lots of ppl said French when they are not so thats a foreign movie 😉

Afghanistan makes some killer sci-fi movies. I even hear Iraq is going to film a straight-to-Iraqi-cable movie of Saddam, with a sequel and a prequel to follow.

But a lot of people might not, Kes.

And 'non-US' is NOT the Hollywood definition of a foreign movie- that is non-English speaking ones.

So the question could, and should, have been better phrased and it is not a nitpick to remind people that this is a multi-national board and things should be said accordingly.

ah well, france makes some good ones, we can't deny that 😉

"For France's a jolly good fellow..." Erm, sorry...

not really, we are forced to say it 😉
kidding 🙂

i like karate movies from japan n china n hongkong etc.

Germany during the silent era made the best movies in
the world. And many of these are still classics.

In recent decades, I say Italy, with the movie of Dario
Argento, and great films like "Seduction of Mimi" and
"Meditarraneneo".

Sorry for the out-dateness of my reply' movies, but I
haven't watched too many recent foreign movies.

most countries produce fantastic films, just got to explore.

I like films from all countries.

Britain e.g shaun of the dead, notting hill etc

Italian fims are some of the best imo, being a huge fan of giallo films, also Asian fims and British films, but in all honesty I could care less where a film is made as long as it's good. 🙂

But in all honesty, I gotta say that Hollywood comes out with a lot of garbage, and that's coming from an American.

I'd have to say... either Germany or Spain
France has some great movies too... and obviously Britan too...

Anyone seen "Der Untergang" very powerful film, loved it.

my pick would have to be either french,japanese or spanish movies
oyher than these britain has a couple good movies i guess

though britains movies aren't as good as the others i mentioned

The Netherlands,take Simon or de Tweeling for example.

Or Japan
Shichinin no Samurai and stuff like that love the Samurai Movies,Yojimbo,Sanjuro or Ikiru.(which is not a Samurai movie)Love Akira Kurosawa

Hong Kong and Japan

i would totally say india
bollywood is just marvellous
and b.t.w i used to live in the netherlands and the movies they make now just totally suck.. {i go there every weekend}
