Hola! Bonjour! Namaste! Hello! :D

Does anyone here like foreign films? I know I'm kinda weird with this one, but just thought I'd go for it

I'm a huge Bollywood fan (among other foreign film industries), and I know there's at least one other person in here who likes it. batool786 commented on my welcome message that she loved B-wood, but I haven't really seen her around much. Anyway, I just want to say, ladies, if you're ever looking for a great chick flick, Bwood is the way to go

So am I totally alone on this one, or have other people come to the realization that people are missing out on some great movies if they only watch ones from their own country?

Mama There's a Man in Your Bed is a GREAT flick... it's a 15 year old French flick which despite the way it sounds is NOT pornographic.

If you can find it I highly recoommend it. Here's a synopsis:

This light-hearted French comedy is written and directed by Coline Serreau (Three Men and a Baby). Daniel Auteuil plays Romuald, the head of a dairy products company who has all the accoutrements of success — wealth, power, and a happy family. However, it all falls apart when some devious associates in the boardroom set him up for a fall. And to make matters worse, his wife is having an affair with the Vice President of the company whom he selected himself.

Juliette (Firmine Richard) is a heavy set West Indian cleaning lady at the company whose life seems a lesson in hardship. She lives in a low-income apartment with her five children. When she gives her boss insights into what has been going on in the office, he can't believe his ears. Romuald, vowing revenge against those who caused his downfall, moves in with Juliette while he plots his comeback strategy. Then, the most improbable thing of all happens — he falls in love with her.

Mama, There's a Man in Your Bed is a morality play about inward beauty and seeing with the heart. Although much of the film deals with corporate politics and money-grubbing, the real theme here is the love of a man for a woman whose goodness, independence, common sense, and generosity transform his view of what's important in life. Go with the flow of this comedy and you'll walk away with a smile on your face and a lilt in your step.

i totally luv those as well!! an ardent fan i muz say ;D

[mdith_laney_14]

I'll have to check that one out, DL (thank goodness for Netflix!). Two of my favorite French films are 'Jean de Flourette' and 'Manon of the Spring.' If you rent them, get them together, because once you finish the first you're gonna want to pop the next one in as soon as you can!!

Raz, who's your favorite actor/actress/movie? I am totally in love with Aamir Khan, and Lagaan is one of my top five favorite films from any country!

*feels warm and fuzzy inside* glad to know I'm not alone

[dlfreak]

"Amor Es Perros" was ok from what I remember and I saw Chapter seven of Decaloque which is a Polish modernized version of the Ten Commandments. It's not religious... the one I saw was called though Shalt Not Steal and it was about a girl raised by her grandmother as her mother and her real mother was supposedly her sister then the real mom decides to run off with her daughter but... well you'd have to see it.

[raz_stars]

i luvvvv shah rukh khan! totally adore him n well i aint mad abt any actress but if i were to choose, its preity zinta.. n my fav fav movie of all time is kal ho na ho!! n kabhi kushi kabhi gham! have u watched those?? they r real classics! ;D

my fav french movie of all time is ju'ex d'enfants/ luv me if u dare.. i think i watched it abt 6 times..

[mdith_laney_14]

haha, SRK is fun, I'll admit (even though I'm staying loyal to aamir ). I have KHNH and K3G and watch them endlessly! They're good medicine for a bad day. Have you seen Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? I love love love that movie...it's so good! And I love all the songs in the movies, too. I even got my roommate into it and she loves it, too! haha...her favorite ppl are SRK and Kajol (who doesn't love them together?) and Hritick Roshan (sp?).

Thanks for the French film suggestions, DL and raz...I'll check 'em out! Another of my favorites is 'Diabolique' which is like a murder mystery, but the last 5 minutes has like 3 twists one right after the other and it's so great! I always am freaking out...haha, I get really into it ;D

[raz_stars]

oooh yeah i luved that movie! n the music frm those movies r jus great! n i 4got 2 add i luv devdas.. its abit long n draggy but overall its a wonderful movie! have u watched it? lol n who doesnt luv kajol & srk.. thy r like de kind n queen..

[mdith_laney_14]

yea, i saw devdas and really liked it...i mean it's so sad at the end and everything, but it was really good.

have you seen veer-zaara? it came out a couple months ago and it was SO GOOD. the music for that one was awesome...

i'm looking forward to seeing 'Black' with Rani and Big B...so far the reviews have been fabulous and i hope it's still playing at our local indian cinema when i'm home for spring break! i can also hardly wait to see 'the rising' with aamir khan...woot!

[raz_stars]

ooooh i seriously wanna watch it.. i watched abit but i cldnt understnad coz there were no subtitles.. n yes the soundtrack absolutely awesome!! i wanna watch kyon ho gaya na as well.. lol no way amir will rise i m anti amir ;D

[mdith_laney_14]

grr! if you're anti-aamir, then i'm anti-SRK!! haha

I haven't seen kyon ho gaya na...what's it about?

[krisconcepcion19]

I like films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero, oh and the Passion of the Christ was good. Are those considered foreign films? If not sorry. *Sheepish smile*

[raz_stars]

haaa srk still rulez ooh it has aishwarya rai n vivek oberoi n the big b as well.. its a pretty cool movie i heard.. not too sure abt the story line tho.. oh did u know they r datin in real life as well!

kris lol i think passion of the christ isnt but the other is... i think so atleast..

[krisconcepcion19]

Wel l mean it was in a difffernet language even if it wasn't directed by people from other countries so I didn't know.

[mdith_laney_14]

I love Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and I really want to see Hero (those are both foreign). Passion I think is up for debate because it is in another language, but it was produced in this country. I think technically it isn't, but close enough I haven't seen that one either...looked a little too violent for me to stomach.

[krisconcepcion19]

Hero was really good, you should definitely see it. The Passion of Christ was also, but I guess i can understand if it's not your kind of movie.

[crazygirl1414]

ive seen some films in Spanish but nothing else. Im Spanish so yeah i like them cuz i kno what they're saying. i like to watch novelas also (spanish soap operas).
