Shiri (South Korean)

Sympathy For Mr Vengeance (South Korean)

The Devil's Backbone (Spanish)

City Of God (Brazilian?)

36 (French)

Hardboiled (Chinese)

The Killer (Chinese)

The Warrior (Chinese)

House Of Flying Dagger (Chinese)

Ong-Bak (Thai)

Theres a free channel on Sky dedicated to world movies... it's on 331.

 

The only downside is, they keep repeating the same films over and over and over again. Think they've only got about 12 films.

Night Watch and Day Watch (Russian) - fantastic

 

Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle were hilarious

 

If you don't mind lovey dovey for 3 hours, take a peep at Bollywood (very colourful).

Shaolin Soccer is amazing! I haven't seen Day Watch and Night Watch. I was going to buy the box set but it turns out that they're making a third so I'll wait.

Bollywood is the only foreign cinema I don't like. Bursting into song every 5 minutes...

Unfortunately they are all musicals with pretty much the same Romeo and Juliette story line, stopped watching them years ago but I do have a couple of faves that I keep. I just find it hard to sit there for 3 hours to watch the same thing again and again!
