君の名は。 (your name.)
Also my favorite overall movie.
It is available in English but I prefer to watch it in Japanese. Without subs.
I assume that works only because you've seen it enough times you remember the intent of what is being said, even if you don't understand it to listen to?
"Happy Times". A chinese film about a grifter and a young blind girl.
Howl's Moving Castle Martyrs Paadmavaat
Heavy Trip
Im Westen Nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front).
There are some historical inaccuracies, sure, but it is an amazing movie showing the horrors of trench warfare and the careless nature of the commanding officers in the First World War. It leaves you with a sense of dread, something war movies should do more often imo.
I Am Not an Easy Man (French). It's outdated now, but when I watched it as a teenager/ young woman it opened my eyes to a lot that I took for granted. I still think of it all the time when I'm brushing my teeth.
Merci!
And the version of "You're the One that I Want" plays in my head all the time! So good!
Monrak Transistor
Inu-Oh. I don't like musicals but this one stole my heart.
My Neighbor Totoro
Such a perfect heartwarming movie.
I didn't see a call out for Perfect Blue.
Yojimbo which apparently was the basis for Last Man Standing.
Kung Fu Hustle
A girl walks home alone at night, 2014, Farsi
That one has been in my bucketlist since it came out and I have not been able to watch it yet. It looks great!
In China They Eat Dogs. I Kina Spiser de Hunde.
Ong Bak 2. That movie is one of the best martial arts films I’ve seen.
The Hairdresser's Husband, a French movie I saw @25 years ago when Bravo was still doing artsy-fartsy instead of brain-rot. I took 4 years of French in H.S., but I don't claim to be fluent.
Bajrangi bhaijaan.
(2015 Hindi comedy-drama film starring Salman Khan as a devotee of Hanuman who helps a mute Pakistani girl).
Cure, it's a Japanese psychological horror/thriller film. Honorable mentions also include Pulse (also Japanese) and Incubus (in Esperanto).
Stalker
Perfect Blue is all sorts of fucked up in the best way. Really anything Satoshi Kon made.
