Where the majority of your favourite movies come from?
I'm from Canada. Next to the US where most of the movies I've seen were made, my next country after that is Japan.

Catman likes Japanese, Korean, and Chinese movies. But he's open to most any country's cinema.

Admittedly, I'd say like 95 or 98 percent of them are from either America or the UK. There are some foreign titles that I really love though. A number of them recently had been from South Korea like The Handmaiden or Parasite.

America is my favourite based on quantity. America has always attracted filmmakers from other countries which I believe has only made the industry stronger.

Living in Québec, I watch lots of Québec and French movies. Aside from those, I have a predilection for Japanese and Korean movies. Honourable mention goes to Argentina.

In terms of non-English language films, I tend to lean toward Japanese, Korean or Chinese, but I still watch quite a few French and Italian films as well. I'm pretty open to my foreign film viewing, I just lean towards those as I find their techniques and styles of films interesting.

Roger Ebert once opined that the 3 countries who were the 900-pound gorillas of film history were: the United States, France, and Japan. Hard to argue with that. So, the U.S. being my home country, I will go with the other two equally.

I've been poking around a little more at South American movies. Hit or miss luck due to access. I can't think of a single movie from Argentina though. Only Motorcycle Diaries and Happy Together, and I'm not sure either qualifies beyond part of them being filmed or set there. Got any recommendations? |

What I have seen 9 from Argentina. Not a bad one in the bunch. I have highlighted the superior films. There were Hollywood remakes of Nine Queens and The Secret In Their Eyes. I didn't trouble myself to see either. Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens) / Fabián Bielinsky (2000)El Abrazo Partido (Lost Embrace) / Daniel Burman (2004) La Niña Santa (The Holy Girl) / Lucrecia Martel (2004) El Aura (The Aura) / Fabián Bielinsky (2005)La Ventana (The Window) / Carlos Sorin (2008) La Mujer Sin Cabeza (The Headless Woman) / Lucrecia Martel (2008) El Secreto De Sus Ojos(The Secret In Their Eyes)/Juan José CampanellaWakolda (The German Doctor) / Lucía Puenzo Relatos Salvajes (Wild Tales) / Damián Szifrón |

Only Motorcycle Diaries and Happy Together, and I'm not sure either qualifies beyond part of them being filmed or set there. Got any recommendations? In addition to those already mentioned (of which I heartily endorse the ones highlighted), a few more come to mind. Most of those I probably watched in various film festivals, so they are probably not very easily available. Argentina, 1985 (2022) – on Amazon Prime. Nominated for Best International Film at the Oscars. Pretty good political/courtroom drama about the attempt to bring members of the former military junta to justice. Carancho (2010) – this one is on Netflix here in Canada. Chinese Take-out (2011) At the End of the Tunnel (2016) Heroic Losers (2019) Inheritance (2001) Vinyl Days (2012) Las Acacias (2011) Son of the Bride (2001) Three by the director Carlos Sorín: Intimate Stories (2002) Bombon: El Perro (2004) The Road to San Diego (2006) Official Competition (2021) – Strictly speaking not an Argentinian movie but a Spanish one, with international stars Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas. I mention it because it is by the same Argentinian duo that made The Distinguished Citizen (2016) |

By a fascinating twist of fate I can muster up access to Official Competition via Crave. I saw the trailer and was surprised it wasn't a Pedro Almodovar movie.
Likewise with Carancho. I have (Canadian) Netflix. That I can make happen. ![[shock]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/SCHwyAGkDGvzzCDRagPp.gif)
Okay, we've got something here!
