The platform, aka El Hoyo
It is about a futuristic prison, where food is distributed to inmates in a vertical prison. They have elected to be there, on promise of reward on release. They are fed on a vertical table, the descends, level by level.
IMO, it is really about humanity and the choice between self service and a greater good.
It is a great movie. The sequel... Eh.
Seven Samurai, and The Hidden Fortress.
Tampopo is up there for sure...
Memories of Murder is probably my favorite Korean language film.
Tokyo Story is amazing. Ozu doesn't get as much credit as Kurosawa, but pop over to his rotten tomatoes page and look at how many films he made, and what the ratings of them are.
I don't think I've ever seen a filmography that stacked. Dude made like 50 films, and the lowest rating is like 80-something
Life is Beautiful is one of my favorites that should really only be watched with subtitles. It's a really sad movie, but sticks with you in a good way.
I really liked "Battle Royal" i feel like the hunger games may have been written taking HEAVY influence from this film.
Train to Busan
Das Boot might be my favourite movie full stop.
Rififi
Parasite
Seven Samurai
Manon Of The Spring
Babette's Feast
The Raid: Redemption.
There are so many foreign language films I love. Several have already been mentioned here, but I'll add a few that haven't been:
Babette's Feast
Kung Fu Hustle
Excellent film, and shaolin soccer is brilliant too from the same guy. Steven chow.
Came here to mention this one, and here it is! I love Shaolin Soccer.
Right on. At least half of Stephen Chow's catalog came to mind when I read this question.
My Neighbor Totoro
All of the Ghibli movies are great, though they're some of the only foreign films I will watch dubbed, because the voice casts they get are insane. The English dub of Totoro with the Fanning sisters while they were still children is just fantastic.
The sketchy site I used only had the Japanese version unfortunately.
Such a perfect heartwarming movie.
君の名は。 (your name.)
Also my favorite overall movie.
It is available in English but I prefer to watch it in Japanese. Without subs.
I Am Not an Easy Man (French). It's outdated now, but when I watched it as a teenager/ young woman it opened my eyes to a lot that I took for granted. I still think of it all the time when I'm brushing my teeth.
Heavy Trip
Yojimbo which apparently was the basis for Last Man Standing.
Also A Fistful of Dollars. It's kind of crazy how many people just ripped off Kurosawa films
Le Chant du loup. A very decent submarine action movie.
Probably Your Name for me. Beautiful movie, score, story, art.
Ditto, easily one of my favorite movies of any genre
Ong Bak 2. That movie is one of the best martial arts films I’ve seen.
