i'm a sucker for Chinese flicks...dunno why, but i am. i got a little lost during Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but i liked it pretty good. my favorite, unfortunately, i have never caught the name of. it used to come on Bravo quite often. honestly, not really sure what it's about...all i remember is a woman being one of the many wives (i think he had maybe 4 wives or so) of a Chinese emperor type guy (not sure if he was really emperor or not) i'll not go into much detail about it (especially since my details are rather sketchy anyway) but during one scene she says she's pregnant to gain the favor of her husband, but she's really not. she ends up getting into some pretty hefty trouble when everyone in the palace finds out she's not pregnant. at the very end the woman goes insane and is wandering around the palace courtyard as the credits roll. i really wish i knew the name of this movie! if anyone has any clue as to what it could be, please tell me, i'd greatly appreciate it!
was Chocolat with Johnny Depp a foreign film? if so, that's definately one of my faves!

I think it was "Raising the Red Lantern."
Yes, i actually meant any non-US films, i enjoy a lot of films from the UK as well. I am from Canada and there isn't much that's very good that is Canadian made and all the US movies are always very good ( most of them), was just curious as to what films from other countries people liked !:animwink:

Nothing like an old Jackie Chan or Jet Li flick! :lol: That's about the extent of my foreign film experience.
I did try and watch TV while stationed in Japan, but if it wasn't an action flick, I would get lost and wind up changing the channel.
I did enjoy watching the Japanese game shows. They were really funny even if I didn't understand the language.

Heading for the great escape.
Some of the soft southen shandy drinkers would consider anything Scottish as foreign even in this country, and it is a country after all
BTW the scene with the sheets i have a good story that is similar but involved socks:hurl: Not me I hasten to add.
