What is your favorite foreign film? Do you think there should be an American remake?
Okay, um... I'm not sure why, if I like a particular foreign movie, I would want an American remake. First, the American filmmakers would be shamelessly profiting from the success of the original movie (which is kinda tacky), and in some instances the American filmmakers might not even give the original filmmakers proper credit and reimbursement for the idea (depending on the laws of the country it originally came from).
Second, if I like the movie, I would be satisfied with it in its original form. I certainly wouldn't need a remake to be happy. If a remake were made, I might see it just so I could scorn it and discuss how it butchered the original story (because I doubt it would be any better than the original).
Oh, and to answer the original question: I'm not really sure what my favorite foreign film is, but the first one that came to mind was Amelie. :) It's just such a sweet film, and it NEVER needs to be remade!
