Hi,

Here is my listing off my website ... it's hard to make these lists for me as I end up leaving behind too many great things ... but here goes ... half a list, let's say, and it is DEFINITELY foreign as in all over the world.

Vittorio de Sica - After The Fox
Milos Forman - Amadeus
Nicolas Roeg - Bad Timing/A sensual Obsession
Nicolas Roeg/Donald Cammell - Performance
Spike Milligan - Bed Sitting Room
Stanley Donen - Bedazzled
Terry Gilliam - Brazil
Peter Brook - Marat/Sade
Peter Greenaway - Prospero's Books
Ken Russell - The Devils
Akira Kurosawa - Ran
Patrice Chereau - Queen Margot
Claude Berri - Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring
Giuseppe Tornatore - Cinema Paradiso
Giuseppe Tornatore - Ennio Biography
Werner Herzog - Aguirre, The Wrath of God
Denys Arcand - Jesus of Montreal
Krzysztof Kieslowski - The Double Life of Veronique
Carlos Saura - Carmen
Pedro Olea - The Fencing Master
Luis Bunuel - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
Orson Welles - Chimes at Midnight
Phillip Kaufman - Henry and June
Richard Donner - Ladyhawke
Sam Peckinpah - The Wild Bunch
Zhang Yimou - Raise the Red Lantern
Bernardo Bertolucci - The Last Emperor

PP will have fun getting these links, if he wants to. A lot of what is probably thought of as art house stuff. "The Fencing Master" is the best fencing film EVER, but sadly, there was one version with subtitles on PBS, but I have never found that video anywhere, and the film, is only available in the European format, and thus not quite visible, or possible to catch in America. It a fabulous film, and then some ... and you probably learn a lot about fencing, unlike the hero poor stuff done in Hollywood. Basil Rathbone was good, but he is almost cardboard next to this film.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ Funnily enough, my all-time favourite fencing scene is from my all-time worst Bond movie: Die Another Day, starring Pierce Brosnan and Madonna. Smile
