I don't know a lot of obscure stuff that would be news to other people. Everything by Kurosawa - though I haven't seen any of his non-Samurai stuff. :) I love "Throne of Blood" in particular. I need to see some mid-century Japanese stuff that ISN'T Kurosawa for once.
Let's see...just about any spaghetti Western, though of course Sergio Leone is the best. Corbucci is fun too. Have seen lots of good Australian flicks over the years. Only one I can think of that people might not have seen is "Angel at My Table" (early Campion).
Italians: I like Pasolini. His Decameron and Canterbury Tales films are made of awesome (I saw those when I was reading that shit). Need to see more of him.
Umm...what else. I like the obvious stuff, like Bergman. Used to like Kieslowski more than I do now.
Oh! I saw this great French film a couple years ago: "With a Friend Like Harry" (French title was "Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien"). Holy shit that was an awesome movie. In fact, you should go out and rent it right now.
I have a bunch of Bunuel sitting on my desk that I need to watch. Oh, and "Blow-Up" (Antonioni). I am basically in a remedial film-viewing period right now. My big love is Hitchcock and 40's-50's Hollywood American films, though.
Gosh, I could keep going. I'm having trouble remembering what was foreign and what wasn't! :)
