I love how 'foreign' is talked about like it's a genre. Foreign to who?

Recommendations:

The Harder They Come (1973) (Jamaica)

Yes yes yes and fucking yes again!!! You're officially and irrevocably cool from this moment forth, sickest fuckin' movie with the sickest fuckin' soundtrack ever

[DieselDaisy]

I love how 'foreign' is talked about like it's a genre. Foreign to who?

Americans who first discovered asian films via Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, You Only Live Twice and The Last Samurai.

[DR DOOM]

The Milk Of Sorrow (from Peru) ...that's one motherfucker of a film right there.

Anybody seen it?
