This is an international forum. Anyway it was quite easy to understand that the first poster meant best non US film. Speaking of that, did he include canadians movies ?
<strong>running...your quote is taken somewhat from a jonathan richman's song:

hey g, not sure about the jonathan richman angle, but burning sensations did a version of it on the repo man soundtrack way back when. if your into punk, well worth the pick up.
um . . . the Sweat Here After is pretty darn great fer Canuckish film hey?!?!
these are 'foriegn' to me... have to make it short, my daughter's fussy and wife's not home....
my faves: the ever popular 7 hour masterpiece that must be seen in one day:
SatanTango by the Hungarian director Bella Tarr
Fanny and Alexander - Bergman -Swedish --his masterpiece...from the master of masterpieces
Andre Rublev --by Tarkovski (he made the original Solaris) Russian
Medea --by Pasolini -Italian
Heart Of Glass --Herzog --W/ a cast of hypnotized actors
Wings of Desire --Wim Wenders --German
The Celebration -Danish Dogme filmmaker --made on DV --better than anything by Von Trier
L'Histoire Du Cinema ---Godard --French(Swiss) 3 part masterpiece bout cinema AND history and their intertwining...rare, hard to get a chance to see....very cerebral
Was you the one promising me to go see "Breaking the Waves"? If yes did you?</strong><hr></blockquote>
I believe that was torifile who said he would try to see it.
I've already seen it and I thought it was great. but I still prefer DitD.
BTW I saw Emily Watson in person earlier this year at a live broadcast of a NPR talk show at BAM (The Brooklyn Academy of Music). She seemed like a very nice person. Taller than I expected.

ps. good movies
edit: gotta love the internet...Pablo Picasso song lyrics:
Pablo Picasso
Words and Music: Jonathan Richman
Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Well the girls would turn the color
Of the avacado when he would drive
Down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not like you
Alright
Well he was only 5'3"
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole
Not in New York
Oh well be not schmuck, be not abnoxious,
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Alright this is it
Some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called...
