We've got members from all over Europe and some from even further away. Most of us speak english (well some of us <<me>> try to) :lol but there are some great non-English speaking movies and music around.... what are your favourites...

Here are a few of mine with links to IMDB

El Laberinto del Faunto (Pan's Labyrinth)
Chocolat
Der Untergang (Downfall)
Batoru Rowaiaru (Battle Royale)
Shi Main Mai Fu (House of Flying Daggers)
The Passion of the Christ
Letters From Iwo Jima

While I do like Flying Daggers, I do think that Ying Xiong (Hero) is a better film personally :thumbup

Got Letters From Iwo Jima recorded on the Sky+ to watch sometime soon; not watched it yet

Other than some already mentioned, Kunf Fu Hustle (very funny film) and Come See (harrowing stuff).

It's an excellent film mate but VERY heavy going, some may find it a bit too brutal in its realism.

Dan, just watched Letters From Iwo Jima. Didn't realise it was an accompanying title to Flags of Our Fathers, which I watched last weekend. They even use some of the same shots. The two complement each other brilliantly :clap

They certainly do... I was pleasantly surprised how good the films were.

I thought Chocolat was in English, well my version with the lovely Juliette Binoche certainly is. My personal favourite is Amelie, although it could be argued that Snatch isn't in the English!
