Hello All,
I'm 57. Pretty old I guess.  My intro to "Foreign Films" was mostly Ingmar Bergman's films. "Wild Strawberries" really influenced my b&w photography. (I ended up being a photographer.)

To GenghizKahn: Are the following films (your list) available with English subtitles?  I've found that I really enjoy oriental films - especially Jhang Yemou's (hope I spelled that right), so now I'm always on the lookout for new films, and I haven't heard of any of these. Did you see the "Emperor and the Assassin"?  
A Mongolian tale
Devils at the Doorstep
Song of Tibet
Man walking on snow
East palace west palace
The emperor's shadow

A note on the topic American vs. Foreign - with film makers, actors, crew, etc. working worldwide these days how foreign are foreign films with american actors, and how American are Hollywood films with foreign directors (that's been done for decades)? How about "Moulin Rouge" made in Australia? Is Nicole Kidman an American actress?  Is the sole qualification for a foreign film that it be subtitled?
Living in a midwestern industrial town "foreign" means I'll have to wait to see it on video, because it will never come to a theatre near me.

I love foreign films
