I saw my very first theatrical experience with a foreign movie, seeing "April & the Extraordinary World" at E Street Cinema. I recommend it.
I then met with my friend at National Theater see the Broadway hit "Jersey Boys".

Re: Red letter for me today culturally
I'm guessing you mean foreign language, as I presume you've probably seen some films in English from foreign countries (e.g. from the UK, Australia, etc). I think my first foreign language film in a theater might have been Crouching Tiger, though I can't remember if I actually saw that in theater or on DVD. I definitely saw some Jet Li films (Hero and Fearless) in theaters, as well as House of Flying Daggers. In college, I saw a bunch in our school's theater when I took Japanese cinema, though it was much smaller than most cinemas.
Personally, I really enjoy foreign language films. I feel like there is a lot of creativity in story telling and film making that is often lacking in Hollywood. Whereas many of the indie US films tend to be insufferable attempts of being "artsy"

Yes, foreign language. But I completely forgot about Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. But beyond the choreography, I guess I didn't understand what was so great about it. Plus, I saw April & the Extraordinary World (it should actually be "Twisted World", not sure whh they changed it) in E Street Cinema which is the nearest theater that shows indie & foreign langage films on the first weekend of their American Release.Monk wrote:I'm guessing you mean foreign language, as I presume you've probably seen some films in English from foreign countries (e.g. from the UK, Australia, etc).
