Shawshank Redemption
LOTR triology
Godfather
Memento
Donnie Darko
Se7en
21 Grams
Usual suspects
Silence of the lambs
Schindler’s list
Finding Nemo

Diva ... a french film
Amelie ... a french film
Queen Margot ... a french film
Immortal Beloved ... part english, part german
loads of spanish flicks too ... can't remember the names

Actually, I love the soundtrack for Diva. The music they play is kinda hypnotic. It's a beautiful, instrumental piano piece with opera singing. Yes, it does have a good story to it.

ch_and-be_ii · July 6, 2004, 4:28am

Now that's a movie to grab before any other.

ch_and-be_ii · July 6, 2004, 5:38pm

thanks tekno for the list. Cinema paradiso is on the top of my to-watch list.

Sharaabi, believe me chicko..nowadays good movies are hard to come by, and I am very hard to please. And Braveheart isn't foreign..though it is good, but not in my all time favs.

Kake, thanks..I will check it out.
