It's your favorite foreign movie.

What is your favorite foreign film, if you have one? This is one of my favorite films ever, foreign or otherwise:




Masina is so wonderfully expressive, she's like a female Tramp. (In more ways than one!)

Of the few I've seen, I'd have to go with Amélie, followed by All About My Mother.

METROPOLIS
I was quite excited to hear about the recently discovered footage, hopefully we'll get a theatrical (and Blu-ray?) reissue in the next couple of years.
