    Do you know I hardly ever notice the subtitles when I watch foriegn films, can't believe that some people wont watch foriegn films because they have to read. I hope you all watch in subtitles no dubbing. Worst thing you can do to a good foriegn film is add dubbing, it losses all it character.

    By the way, thank you all so much for the wonderful suggestions.

    One of you mentioned 'Netflix'.

    I would be able to rent most of these from Netflix???

    My votes go to the Aussie "Gallipoli" with a young Mel Gibson; to the Italian ``Seven Beauties" and ``Ciao Professor" by Linda Wertmuller, also "Cinema Paradiso," ``Bread and Tulips" and ``The flight of the Innocent" among so many others.

    You will absolutely love it!

    I hear the company was started partly to make independent and foreign films more accessible. All of the films in the list I posted were rented from Netflix.
