Any list that doesn't include Aquirre: The Wrath of God can get fucked.

Hey Playboy, did you go and see it in the Speigeltent (I think that's the spelling) back in October? The one where a band had come up with a score and played it live behind the screen and where a duo gave a short presentation of the sound effects art named after an Irish guy to a scene of Once Upon A Time In The West? That was classic. The film was good too.

I haven't seen much European cinema but of the ones I've seen I guess I'd say:

1. Amelie
2. Run Lola Run
3-10. Can't remember much that stood out.

gandalf

Here are ten I can think of in no order in particular

Run Lola Run
Good Bye Lenin
Delicatessen
La Femme Nikita
Taxi (the French original not that piece of rubbish remake!)
Amelie
Life is Beautiful
Il Postino
Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources
Brotherhood of the Wolf

chewy

he did say european but didn't the characters speak spanish? (or portuguese)

good film though liked it...

Cactus Col

Incubus

Raoul Duke

Here's some that immediately come to mind. As I plan on watching a sh!tload of European films this year (having grown tired of Asian films) this list will probably change substantially in the future.


The 400 Blows
All About My Mother
Amélie
Das Boot
F#cking Åmål
Good bye, Lenin!
Bande à part
Lilja 4-Ever
The Return
The Wages of Fear
The Battle Of Algiers

I know there's 11 there but couldn't take one out.

Etain

I don't want to repeat any titles, so many good movies have been mentioned. Here's a few others that came to mind;
Wings of Desire
Bread and Tulips
The Birdcage
The Count of Monte Cristo (French)
Ridicule
Pauline and Paulette
Attack and Retreat

Das Experiment wasn't particularly great IMHO, I'm not sure why so many people like that one. Run Lola Run, mainstream as it is, is still better.

Zusje ("Little Sister") was pretty good.

Incubus

Go William Shatner!
