If you were going to another planet and could only take ONE foreign film with you (the only foreign film you would ever see again), which one would you take and why?

Re: Just one film?
02/10I would probably take Amelie. It's colorful, charming, makes me smile, and it's full of hope. -

02/10Walkabout
To contemplate for sanity during the trip, and provide inspiration if I meet anything I can't easily communicate with.

Re: Just one film?
02/10Well, if I am going to as you say be stranded on another planet, I may as well take a film that I would get most lost into, when I wanted to watch it...
Tough choice, not sure yet, it might be La Belle Noiseuse, or Film d'amore e d'anarchia (Love & Anarchy), or Pride & Prejudice (the A&E / BBC version), or Le Temps Retrouve (Time Regained), or....
Let me know when they're coming to get me, then I'll pick just one ;-) -

02/10One film??
Then my choice would go to a non very spiritual/deep movie (although) but to a cult one aired on Christmas eve on national tv in France, wacky, fun, witty, entertaining and so true to what we are as human beings.

02/10Hi, Gents and Ladies! First time posting on this Tribe.
Strictly Ballroom. Romantic. Funny. Great Paso Doble scene at the end. I'd watch it every few months to cure my homesickness. -

02/10I changed my mind the very last minute before I set sail.
THE ROE'S ROOM by Lech Majewski.

Re: Just one film?
02/11I would trust anything you recommend Sherpa.
By the first name of this director I'd think he's Polish BUT I will look him up and try to add this to my renting list.
And, it's okay to change our minds hee hee

02/11THE ROE'S ROOM by Lech Majewski is unlike any film I have ever seen, a visual materpiece and also very difficult to find as a rental.
THE ROE'S ROOM is more like a ritual than a film. Though it's in Polish, no words are spoken but sung. Yet it's not like an opera either as most of the time we do not see the singers but the actors quietly undergoing their actions accompanied by a musical score that resembles Philip Glass (though composed by the director) but not nearly as redundant. It's one of my top ten favorite films ever.

02/28Wow...for some reason I want to say Kurosawa's 'Dreams.' I've seen it several times and each time it moves me emotionally..it's beautiful, sad, and chilling at the same time.
