Lestat   10 #3 Posted October 14, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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.

spicey   10 #12 Posted October 14, 2008 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
