Foreign(non-english/US) Movie Recommendations
quekmeister:
The House of Flying Daggers was good. Zhang Ziyi and all.
Has anyone watched Red Cliff? The original was released in two parts, each three hours long, but apparently it was spliced into a single film in the West... The first part is amazing, and Takeshi Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang? Genius (Pun!). Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu? Awesome. Zhou Yu is brilliantly enigmatic. The guy who played Sun Quan was pretty good too.
My sister and I happened to watch A Very Long Engagement/Un long dimanche de fiançailles, it wasn't bad, being by the same director as Amelie, and Marion Cotillard's character was quite fun, though the movie itself dragged on a bit.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Jet Li's Fearless was a pretty good Kung Fu flick.
And yeah, Pan's Labyrinth is like Alice in Wonderland... for adults!

That movie alone pushed me into the realm of facing my fears. I can now proudly say I am a screwed up motherfucker. (Watched a shitload of Japanese, Thai and other horrors and now I'm desensitized)
GREAT movie. (IMO)
Chocolate. It's not supposed to be as good action as Ong Bak, but to watch a female KICK ASS in a movie like this... the action alone blows the mind. It's FUCKING AMAZING!~
