YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANY FILMS BY PEDRO ALMODÓVAR?! I highly recommend Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (from when Antonio Banderas was still young xD), which is an over-the-top telenovela-esque absurd movie, very amusing! And I also recommend Todo sobre mi madre and Volver. Two Catalan movies you could try are Salvador, with the same actor as the main character in Goodbye Lenin, and Tempus Fugit :).

[pannkaka.livejournal.com]

(And Azuloscurocasinegro and Los lunes al sol and Abre los ojos...! I had to watch a Spanish movie every two weeks for my Bachelor :))

[quabazaa.livejournal.com]

Oh whoops I forgot to write all of Spain in!! Yes I've seen almost exclusively Almodovar films, haha XD I liked Volver!

Thanks for the other recs :D

[nulomiel.livejournal.com]

Russia
The Return
The Italian
Have you not seen Nightwatch or Daywatch???!! I thought for sure you would have, but they are not on your list!
See them as soon as you can!

Also - Tuva (a republic of Russia)
Genghis Blues (fascinating American documentary set in Tuva)


Netherlands
Antonia's Line
Bride Flight (filmed in NZ)


Ireland
The Secret of Roan Inish
A Film With Me In It
Once

[liath-macha.livejournal.com]

Isn't Persepolis a French-made film?

[ifollowedthewhiterabbit]

spanish/mexico - "El orfanato"

ireland - "The Magdalene Sisters"

Sweden - "Låt den rätte komma in"

Thailand - "Alone"

France - "À ma soeur!"

Serbia - "A Serbian Film"


The last one you might not even want to watch. It's always on the 'most disturbing' lists I look up when I'm trying to find movies...and it's from Serbia, and you don't have anywhere from Serbia yet. I haven't seen THAT french one but if you find it and get to watch it first, I really wanted to know what you thought. Otherwise, I have seen these and enjoyed them.

Oooh thanks so much for this :D I am forever on the lookout for more films! Added to the list of things to watch :D

Hey why only two stars for Tsotsi? (Going through the list for recs right now ;)).

[quabazaa.livejournal.com]

My ratings are high I guess - 1 star is it was ok, 2 I liked it, 3 really liked it, 4 loved it and 5 really loved it. So I did like Tsotsi, I'm trying to remember why I didn't give more. The plot wasn't super memorable for me in the end. Good movie but doesn't rank too high for me compared to some others is the conclusion! Personalised recs still coming your way, I've had some kind of cold since new years.
