Another MUST SEE is 'King of Hearts', A french (English Subtitled) film
that I don't have any other details on right now. It is a very powerful
statement on the perceptions of reality. SEE IT! SEE IT!

Me recalls that "Year of Living Dangerously" is US-made ; methinks they
imported the Aussies to combine Aussie skill with Hollywood facilities
(actually, the location shots are in Phillipines).
I'm disappointed that you didn't include "Breaker Morant", but don't
want to start a "Best foreign movies" debate.
Oh yeah, how about Return of Martin Guerre? Everyone who can read subtitles
and watch action simultaneously should see that.
And for people who hate subtitles, see "Diva". The action is so good,
and the plot so convoluted, that you can enjoy the movie without
reading subtitles.

Al right, I couldn't resist but my recommendation for a very good
non-US made movie is actually two movies:
The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe
and
The Return of The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe
I'm surprised no one has mentioned them yet. A couple of very funny
movies from France. Make sure you see the original versions with subtitles,
not the dubbed versions. The opening credits in one(sorry, can't remember
which one) has some amazing card tricks. Unfortunately, they git rid of the
card tricks when they made a dubbed version.wombat@uicsl.UUCP (12/20/83)

Who was the actor who played the male lead in "Bread and Chocolate"?
I think he also has appeared in another more recent movie but I
can't recall it now.
Thank you,
Henry L. Hall

Let us not forget Ticket to Heaven, a superb movie in every respect, and one of the best that CANADA (hurray) has ever produced. If you can think of an American actor who could have even approached RH Thomson's role (as the deprogrammer), let me know. ( I esp[ecially warmed to the fact that thios movie thumbed its nose at the convention of setting every Canadian made feature film in some Yankeeville. There was a scene in it, outside of Honest Sam's in Toronto, that was no more than two blocks away from the theatre seat I was sitting in when I saw it!!) Down with pseudo-Yankee settings! Vive le Canada libre!

Wasn't most of the film actually set in San Francisco? I really liked the film, too, and not JUST because it's set in SF. By the way, the actor who played the deprogrammer was also in the Tom Sullivan bio movie "If You Could See What I Hear" as Sullivan's friend. (not too bad for a weasly tearjerker movie) Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr -- Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr

My previous article pyuxn.407 was meant to be a reply and not a followup, and for those wondering it was meant to describe the movie "Ticket to Heaven." I don't know what got into me... -- Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
