Favorite Foreign Films - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I will pick the Czech film Daisies(Strange art film about two girls and their outlandish behavior), French films Breathless(Made me think of Pulp Fiction), Umbrellas of Cherbourg(Beautiful and colorful movie. Has style and substance), and Celine and Julie Go Boating(Very satisfying three hours of time spent), and one to choose that is not on this list would probably be House of Flying Daggers(Interesting Chinese romance that got me hooked when watching it). I did not like Rules of the Game that much, I know it is supposed to be a masterpiece, but it did not strike me. An honorable mention would also be The Holy Mountain, because of how it reminded me of Monty Python and Luis Bunuel, and also spoke to me in a way(Stop trying to achieve immortality and enjoy your life as is).

Also, the format of the poll is (Name of Film) - (Name of Director)

I just named multiple films from nations for this. There are so many foreign films to choose from as well.

	I have only seen 6 of these. Rashomon (Akira Kurosawa) gets my nod.
	Thank you for supporting independently produced music
