Non Mainstream Hollywood Movies

[unforgiv3n82]

Hi there, i'm looking for advice on good NON MAINSTREAM HOLLYWOOD MOVIES,

I love movies, but i know very little about "foreign films"

So i thought this is a very good place to ask for some references,
i would love to know about good german movies, or french or british, swedish, norwegian, argentinian, etc

I'll be waiting for your favorites,
I don't have much preference on genre tho, i just like GOOD MOVIES.

thanks in advance

cheers

i don't know which kind of movies you like, but here are a few suggestions from different genres:

a fantastic italian movies are "cinema paradiso" of giuseppe tornatore and "la vita è bella" of roberto benigni!!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/

a very funny french movie is "gregoire moulin contré l'humanité"!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259340/

an austrian masterpiece is "die fälscher"!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813547/

an awsome english movie by guy ritchie (madonna's ex-hubbie) is "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/

a very funny swedish movie is "kops"!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339230/

another english highlights (in my eyes) are "the business" (very cool soundtrack too, if you like music from the 80s) and "saving grace"!!
