The CHUD International Film Guide

I'm thinking we could use this thread as a kind of Chewer's Guide to Foreign Films. Choose a country you feel you have experienced a good number of films from, and list your top films from that country. There isn't a limit on the number of films, but try to keep it definitive. Others are welcome to suggest additions to each list.

I just thought it would be nice to have a relatively easy to navigate country-by-country guide by the experts here, for the benefit of anyone wanting to see the best of a particular nation's cinema.

I like Japanese films, but I don't think I have seen a wide enough variety of them, so I'll leave that to someone else. For now, here would be my picks from NZ:



Once Were Warriors, Lee Tamahori, 1995

Whale Rider, Niki Caro, 2002

Heavenly Creatures, Peter Jackson, 1994

An Angel At My Table, Jane Campion, 1990

Utu, Geoff Murphy, 1983

Came A Hot Friday, Ian Mune, 1985

The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey, Vincent Ward, 1988

Bad Taste, Peter Jackson, 1987

Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale, Murray Ball, 1987

Goodbye Pork Pie, Geoff Murphy, 1981



Note: We're not counting the US, and the UK isn't regarded as one country.

And just to beat anyone else to the chase, here would be my list of must-see Hong Kong movies (as opposed to mainland China):

The Killer, John Woo, 1989

Hard Boiled, John Woo, 1992

Iron Monkey, Woo-Ping Yuen, 1993

In The Mood For Love, Wong Kar Wai, 2000

Project A, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, 1983

Infernal Affairs, Wai Keung Lau, 2002

Nice list Spike, I was hoping you'd do Korea.

One more thing, for countries with a longer history of filmmaking, we should try to balance classics with contemporary. Japan, for instance, shouldn't be all Kurosawa films, neither should we forget Truffaut or Godard when thinking about French cinema.

Ireland

For an Irish-themed issue of an Australian magazine I worked for last year, I was assigned to come up with a list of my favourite Irish films. They were...

-My Left Foot (Jim Sheriden)
-The Butcher Boy (Neil Jordan) This one's a classic, a real must-see.
-The Snapper (Stephen Frears)
-I Went Down (Paddy Breathnach)
-Intermission (John Crowley)
-Some Mother's Son (Terry George)

This is nice idea for a thread.

What about Neil Jordan's Michael Collins? Or does it not qualify because it was a co-production?

Ah, no Seven Samurai, eh? Interesting. I'd suggest Shall We Dansu? for inclusion, as it's a great Japanese comedy with a lot of heart.

[EDIT] And I'd put Twilight Samurai rather than Hidden Blade, but that's just me. They're both worthy.

No Seven Samurai because I was keeping it to one film per director and there were about half a dozen samurai films on there, I also really, really, really love Stray Dog.

I'm not a comedy man, so I'll go with your suggestion.

I probably don't need to mention this, but when you make additions to your list don't bother writing it out again, just edit your original post, that way the thread stays relatively tidy. Feel free to add your own synopses of the films (but no spoilers!).

[EDIT] And don't overreach! If you can't come up with at least half a dozen films for a country, leave it for someone else. You can always suggest additions later.

Can't remember them all, but here are most of my favourite Russian (or USSR) films:

Andrei Rublev - Tarkovski's best and, in many ways, one of his most accessible films.
The Cuckoo - you will find some similarities with recent No Man's Land.
Sherlock Holmes TV films - To me they always were the best adaptations. Filmed in my hometown (couldn't resist)
Heart of a Dog - The only good Bulghakov adaptation. A really funny movie and a good commentary on communism.
Viy - Probably the only good russian horror film. Spooky.
White sun of the Desert - Fun and cheesy, but a beautiful action film.

Can't wait to finally watch "Come and See".

Samurai Mike, the Hidden Blade is better than Twilight. Just accept it...and then commit seppuku.

That's the problem with Korean cinema, there's just not enough of it. And a lot of the good films are made by the same three directors. If I was going to double up I'd add Lady Vengeance, Tale of Two Sisters, and Nowhere to Hide in a heartbeat.

Will have to check out President's Last Bang....a double billing of Vampire Cop Ricky and 'Action Movie' almost destroyed what goodwill I had for Korean cinema.

Edit: Added Public Enemy and Crying Fist to the list, because I can.

For countries which have one or two directors who dominate everyone else, it's quite acceptable to double up. I would put two Kurosawa films in your Japanese list, Seven Samurai is a must-see. Yes, there are lots of samurai films, but that's what Japan does that nobody else does.

And Hidden Blade may be more technically accomplished, but Twilight Samurai is the better story. Bow to your sensai. BOW TO YOUR SENSAI!!

I'll double up on Kurosawa...

But on the Hidden Blade I'm afraid we'll have to duel at dawn....how fighting for a Yomada flick.

The Hidden Blade has a man get his hand blow orf...it wins.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
The Seven Per Cent Solution

I want to add 'The Duellists' to this list as I can't stop watching this film of late, however I'm not entirely sure it can be classed as 'British'. Strictly speaking I suppose the nationality of a film would be determined by its financing, although this will no doubt cause problems. Any ideas?
