Perhaps the best start to your viewing re-education would be to understand why you call these 'Foreign Films' ;-)

What you really mean is films in languages that Americans won't/can't understand ;-)

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I believe that is why I said non-USA.
You might start with the realization that a lot more than one country speaks in English.

And luckily with a remote (pause button) and my advanced US education I should be able to understand some of it.
LOL.

Anyway, what is your favorite domestically produced film?

You could start with some Finnish humour - Leningrad Cowboys go America (1989): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097728/

An early work by our beloved boozer Aki Kaurismäki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aki_Kaurismäki

He 'sdmits' to being a lousy filmmaker: http://zakka.dk/euroscreenwriters/interviews/aki_kaurismaki_02.htm

I liked Kaurismäkis: The Man Without a Past.

His black comedy is hilarious.

"Foreigh" is a category of its own in US film outlets, for instance at Blockbusters.

For any Brit a day without anti-american bitching (kind of mental wanking, perhaps) is a total waste.

We here, in Russia, divide films into 'foreign' and 'russian' categories too, what is so fucking uncommon for the UK?

If you're into blockbusters, RR, you may be interested to watch the first successful Russian, post-soviet that is, attempts to make them.

They are Night Watch, 2004
and Day Watch, 2006

In Wikipedia about them, accordingly:

Night Watch
Day Watch

For my bride, a day without anti-brit bitching (kind of mental infidelity) is a total waste.

I loved Night Watch and I am desperately waiting for Day Watch to be released - this summer as far as I know?
