South Korea:

Russia:

I wanna add Eternal Zero, For Those We Love and Oba: The Last Warrior from Japan to my collection too but can't find them for a decent price. Foreign war films have been WAY better than anything Hollywood has been producing the last few years IMHO.. (minus Fury and Hacksaw Ridge)

Ice Cold in Alex or Eating in ...
Off the top of my head:
a few don't have English subtitles either*

Mongol*
Kagemusha
Rashamon
Michael de Ruyter
War of the Arrows
1911 Revolution*
Zot van Aa*
Meatshield*
La vita e Bella*
La vie en Rose*
Tales from Earthsea (mixture of Japanese and English with English subtitles)
Sissi*

Loads of kids films in Dutch, and most of the Disney films are spoken in Dutch and/or Vlaams but usually have the original soundtrack as a second option.

Yes, Flemish is different than Dutch, and when we get TV programs in Dutch we usually get Flemish subtitles smile

I have all films made by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (one of my favourite directors). Not much of intrest for people here, with the possible exception of "A Very Long Engagement", a WW1 drama.

Other than that, I have Das Boot, Deep Blue Sky.

I have many films that are in British. A few are in New Zealandish and Australian.
Many feature Klingon and Huttese, although they are not the primary language.

Shichinin no Samurai (pretentious use of the original title for Seven Samurai smile ).
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
Kagemusha
(the excellent Criterion releases)

Hiroshi Inagaki's "Samurai/Musashi" Trilogy, starring Toshiro Mifune (incidentally, IIRC, the first Japanese movie shot on color film):
- Miyamoto Musashi
- Duel at Ichijoji Temple
- Duel at Ganryu Island

The trilogy is based on the famous novel "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa.

All the German stuff I can see on TV or on demand anyway, so no need to own physical copies.

Wait - are we talking original language films (with subtitles) or any non-English production (dubbed)?

Original language films with subtitles. Dubbing is a faux pas in my opinion. It would be like putting milk in coffee for any self-respecting Italian. biggrin
