I've seen two - 8 Femmes (France) and Nirgendwo In Afrika (Germany). Both excellent.



None :oh-hum:
where the hell is that list from :confused:



None! (My god i'm ignorant...)
Didn't think 'Hero' was out anywhere yet???



Is that the best foreign film list for the oscars?
I'm ashamed to say I've seen none :(



Not heard of any of them. :dork:



None for me as well..... :(

Yes, indeed. It is the best foreign film list for the oscars.
Hero DVD is out in China...



are they films? ;)



None of them.
I did see Ecks vs Sever 3 times though. :thumbs:



I've seen ten: The Son; City of God; Abouna; Hero; The Man without a Past; 8 Women; I'm Taraneh, 15; Lilja 4-ever; Mon-rak Transistor; 9.
Still pretty abysmal considering how many there are on the list. By the way, City of God is an absolutely amazing film and should win the Oscar (even though i haven't seen all the contenders!)

That's supposed to be the early favourite isn't it?



I've only seen Devdas, and while it's not bad, I think it's very overrated.



Just the one. 8 Women. Very Good



I haven't seen any, but quite a few are on my shortlist.
My honeymoon was slap bang in the middle of the London Film Festival, so I simply haven't had a chance to see most of them!



Zero

I guess the seats are bigger in London cinemas??
..back on topic, I haven't seen any of them, mainly because even seeing Bowling For Columbine is proving to be an impossible challenge down here in the sticks!

Quick - somebody call Talbot Rothwell... :D
Damn - beaten to it again! BTW, the answer is none.

So many films, so little time...

I'm not sure. It's definitely been well received on the Festival circuit.



Ive seen none, but Afghanistan, "FireDancer," Jawed Wassel, director; was shown at the manchester cornerhouse and got rave reviews.



8 Femmes/Woman on a freebie... tis tough though to find foreign films ...



There not many that have grabbed my interest this year, 8 women does look amoung the more commerical tho.
