I’ve only sat through three foreign language films in my life, so I guess they’re my favorites since I own a copy of each:

The Seven Samurai
Das Boot
The Passion of the Christ (which probably doesn’t qualify as a “film” since it was made by an American for an American audience, but it’s in a foreign language and that’s enough for me)

Help me on the names folks:

1. Kagushima? War movie where the soldiers had flags on their backs and they picked some twin commoner to stand in for general.

2. Recent film where assassins were trying to kill the Chinese emperor and at the end the guy had a chance to kill him with one move (he got close enough by supposedly killing other assassins) but he wanted China to be united and didn’t do it. He died in a hail of arrows like 300.

3. Black and white film where peasants hired a bunch of out of work samuri to defend the town.

I like to watch films in German. If anyone can recommend German language film(s) to me, I’d appreciate it.

I have watched and thoroughly enjoyed “Das Boot” and “Schultze Gets the Blues.”

Any other German language films out there and rentable? When I ask at Blockbuster they just say umm, I don’t know.

"The Island." Freeper Kolokotronis recommended it to me. Here's the Netflix blurb:

"Father Anatoli (portrayed by former Russian rock star Pyotr Mamonov) lives a hermitlike existence in a remote Russian Orthodox monastery, where he's visited by people who believe he has the power to heal, see the future and exorcise demons. But Anatoli's odd behavior confuses his fellow monks, who are unaware that he's tortured by a past sin and considers himself an unworthy fraud. Pavel Lungin directed this poignant parable.
