Have you ever watched some highest grossing movies from another country?

I really enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia.

Tom Jones is a good oldie.

Or how about Amelie?

I love the Kurosawa films, and Bergman is terrific, but I don’t know how they did at the box office.

@janbb
I loved Amelie. French films are often remarkable.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon…. It’s the highest grossing foreign film in the US.

Of course it didn’t have the production value that Hollywood did (does), but no foreign movies do.

Not to say, by the way, that Crouching Tiger was a great film, or that Kurosawa* or Bergman or Fellini weren’t geniuses (they were). I am only using Crouching Tiger because it’s apparently the most-seen foreign film here.

Highest-grossing of all time? Highest-grossing domestically or abroad?

@shadling21 Sure give me both lol?

I was disappointed to discover that the Bollywood movies I’ve seen aren’t on this list. I’d recommend you check them out anyhow.

In many other countries, American movies make more money, I think.

Japan… Probably a Miyazaki film will be highest-grossing? Spirited Away surpassed Princess Mononoke when it was released.

Are you looking for movies titles, or more for a comparison of these foreign films to American box-office hits?

The Motorcycle Diaries
Maria Full of Grace
Pan’s Labyrinth
Under the Same Moon
Tsotsi
Amelie
A Very Long Engagement
La Vie en Rose
Monsoon Wedding

@shadling21 I just want to watch them. I like to expand my horizons, I listen to foreign and domestic music for example, but I don’t know many foreign movies.
