~ More than a decade ago, a local TV channel screened Asian movies (with commentaries from local filmmakers/critics and why the film was chosen to be played on TV). This was a unique thing because Asian movies are uncommon, especially back then, to be screened even at the cinemas. I barely remember the scenes, but what I recall was all these are so good, funny and touching films. So I'm listing it here as a recommendation:
Shower (China)
Homerun (Singapore)
I Not Stupid (Singapore)
I Not Stupid Too (Singapore)
Farewell my Concubine (Hongkong) --- became one of my all time favorite movies
Chicken Rice War (Singapore)
Pepot Artista (Philippines)
Batad sa paang palay (Philippines)


~ Foreign language films I watched recently that I recommend:
Central Station (film from Brazil)
La mala educacion
Y tu mama tambien
