Re: "foreign" film rec thread!

City of Lost Children (French) - I suspect a lot of people have heard of this, for reasons of Ron Perlman, but it's the kind of weird creepy fantasy that people who read Roald Dahl as a kid ought to love, so there's that.

The Crimson Rivers (French) - I have no idea where I came across this one, but it's a French thriller starring Jean Reno about a series of murders in the French Alps that exposes a much darker underlying secret in the area. It has a touch of Dan Brown style conspiracy to it, but it's also a bit John Connolly in style and execution too.

Fantômas (French) - the 1913/1914 silent serials, if you enjoy early silent crime films about a proto-Joker style anarchist and the poor bastard of a cop who has to hunt him down. It was one of my first experiences of silent movies, after Metropolis, and I've always loved it.

Nosferatu (German) - both the silent 1922 film and the colour 1979 remake, because they're both eerie and fascinating in different ways

Picnic at Hanging Rock (Australian) - for a very weird horror movie set in 1900's era Victoria in which more or less nothing identifiably happens but the whole atmosphere is creepy as hell

The Dish (Australian) - again, Aussie, but a complete change of pace, this one's about the use of an Australian radio telescope by NASA for the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. For the scene with the 'American national anthem' alone, I would recommend this movie to anyone. Stars Sam Neill as the NASA scientist

The World's Fastest Indian (New Zealand) - in the same vein-ish as the Dish, this one's an biographical film about a record-setting New Zealand speed bike racer named Burt Munro in the 50s, and his quest to race his motorcycle at the Bonneville Speed Week in America. Stars Anthony Hopkins as Munro, and it's my dad's favourite feel-good movie (you can blame him for my having seen both this and the Dish).

Seconding The Dish. It's such an adorable movie, and that brick radio telescope is just gorgeous!

I've been meaning to get around to seeing Picnic at Hanging Rock and City of Lost Children for ages now (heard about tbe latter at a museum exhibit on syeampunk and it looked cool). I need to see if the library has either film.
