My definition of “foreign movies” means non-English speaking with English subtitles.
I heart foreign movies and am always searching for the educational and entertaining treasures to be found by viewing foreign cinema. One of the places to find some really good suggestions to add to my watch list is in a Google Plus Community for Movie Lovers. Joined this community in 2013.
Reviewing my community contributions from 2013 to 2017 reveals an interesting variety when it comes to my taste in movies and yes ... before you say it ... some of the movies are not foreign. So glad that this community is still active, still available to the public, and currently boasts over 10,000 members. Here's a recap of some of my shares.
(Sep 2013) “'The Manchurian Candidate' with the Late Frank Sinatra is now a classic and worthy of this distinction. The remake with Denzel Washington? Yeah! I have an opinion.”
(Oct 2014) Must reshare as we just lost this inimitable talent, actor and comedian, Jerry Lewis (1926 -2017), who I will always fondly remember as “The Nutty Professor”.
“-The remakes of this old comedy starring #EddieMurphy were not as good as the original. #myopinion”
(Dec 2014) “Thinking of an underrated #ClintEastwood film? Into #oldmovies? This one is a 1975 action and adventure #spythriller. ...”
(Feb 2015) “'New Jack City' (1991) ... The bad guy had it coming! ...”
(Jul 2016) “ … My take on 3 #Bollywood dramas I thought were intense!”
(Oct 2016) “This is a #Koreandrama #TVseries. ... can't let go of the #soundtrack. ...”
(Mar 2017) “Ever see the movie “The Falcon and the Snowman” (1985)? This is not America.”
(Aug 2017) "Classic movies are old movies that never get old."
(You can quote me on that. :) ) ☺
