Ong-Bak the Thai Warrior
Ju-dou
La Reina Margo
Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl
House of Flying Daggers
Raise The Red Lantern
Farewell My Concubine
The City of Lost Children
Pan's Labyrinth
Marquis De Sade
Le Pacte des Loups


I like weird movies that have something to do with sex, betrayal, or ass-kicking martial arts.

This one isn't foreign, but it's very 'indie' and I think the average fan of foreign flicks would love this trilogy:
The QATSI Trilogy .... Naqoyqatsi - Powaqqatsi - Koyaanisqatsi

I loved House of the Flying Daggers... Martial Arts yes.. but very artsy at the same time... plus i have a huge crush on Ziyi Zhang... any others like this one you can recommend? ... have you seen Hero with Jet Li , Ziyi Zhang (her role was minor though ) etc.. you might like Fearless as well...

Pusher I
Pusher II
Pusher III
Dobermann
Leon
Lola Rennt

 

[lordcatfish]

The Infernal Affairs trilogy. They were all on on successive nights a few months ago at about 1am and I was gripped.

 

[S<issors]

Pan's Labyrinth

Thought that was sorta overrated.

The whole vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance/Oldboy/Lady Vengeance) has a weird vibe going for it. The only once I've seen in its entirety is Oldboy, though. Frankly I don't consider them "enteraining..." but the guy's some kind of visual genius.

Audition was fucked up. Ichi the Killer was more fucked up. Aftermath was the king of fucked up.

 

[Symbelmyne]

The Brotherhood Of The Wolves
Amelié
Man Who Cried

Yeah.:Smug:
