    Impressed that fightbeat is so au fait with foreign films. :bears: I've not heard of most of these, I'll look into all of them and see which I fancy.

    Why? Sometimes its hard to understand you fuckers.

    And the fact of the matter is that it IS foreign.

    Its different of course especially when most of the big movies are made here and you anticipate them just like us.

    Most people here have no clue what movies you guys are making over there. Unless the shit is just so great, it come here.

    I love movies from the UK so i am constantly on the look out, but lets be honest. The production value isnt the same, and you can tell most of the time the budget is lacking. Its clear the movie wasnt made here.

    Is an Australian movie Foreign? New Zea land? Jamaican? They speak English, but the movies are foreign

    'Foreign' in film terms refers to the language used normally, not the place it was made or filmed.
