"..Time Bandits.."

:Summary:
Time Bandits is a 1981 British fantasy film produced and directed by Terry Gilliam.[THE ASSES! Are remaking it 2015, purposely..]

Terry Gilliam wrote the screenplay with fellow Monty Python alumnus Michael Palin, who appears with Shelley Duvall in the small, recurring roles of Vincent and Pansy. The film is one of the most famous of more than 30 theatrical features produced by HandMade Films. The London-based independent company was backed in part by former Beatle George Harrison, who wrote and performed the closing credits song "Dream Away" especially for this film, and is credited as being one of the executive producers of the film.

A young boy, Kevin. Accidentally joins a band of dwarves as they jump from time-period to time-period looking for treasure to steal.

Kevin learns that the dwarves, named Randall (the self-proclaimed leader), Fidgit, Strutter, Og, Wally, and Vermin, were employees of the Supreme Being, the creator of "all the big stuff" in the universe, while it was the regular job of the dwarves to create small bushes and trees. After designing a particularly foul-smelling tree, the dwarves were demoted to the job of repairing holes in the spacetime fabric. Instead, however, they spitefully stole the map of the holes' locations, which they are now using to travel around, stealing treasures from across history. Meanwhile, in secret, this journey is being observed via mystical powers by a malevolent being, known simply as Evil[Evil itself], who seeks the map for himself to recreate the universe to his liking.


"The Adventures of Baron Munchausen"
:Summary:
Is a 1988 British adventure fantasy comedy film written and directed by Terry Gilliam, starring John Neville, Sarah Polley, Eric Idle, Jonathan Pryce, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, and Robin Williams (credited as Ray D. Tutto).

The film begins in an unnamed war-torn European city in the late 18th century (dubbed "The Age of Reason" in an opening caption), where, amidst explosions and gunfire from a large Turkish army outside the city gates, a fanciful touring stage production of Baron Münchhausen's life and adventures is taking place. Backstage, city official "The Right Ordinary Horatio Jackson" reinforces the city's commitment to reason (here meaning uniformity and unexceptionality) by ordering the execution of a soldier (Sting in a cameo) who had just accomplished a near-superhuman feat of bravery, claiming that his bravery is demoralizing to other soldiers. Not far into the play, an elderly man claiming to be the real Baron interrupts the show, protesting its many inaccuracies.Over the complaints of the audience, the theatre company and Jackson, the "real" Baron gains the house's attention and narrates through flashback an account of one of his adventures, of a life-or-death wager with the Grand Turk, where the younger Baron's life is saved only by his amazing luck plus the assistance of his remarkable associates: Berthold, the world's fastest runner; Adolphus, a rifleman with superhuman eyesight; Gustavus, who possesses extraordinary hearing, and sufficient lung power to knock down an army by exhaling; and the fantastically strong Albrecht.

The fantastic tale of a 17th century aristocrat, his talented henchmen and a little girl in their efforts to save a town from defeat by the Turks. Being swallowed by a giant sea-monster, a trip to the moon, a dance with Venus and an escape from the Grim Reaper are only some of the improbable adventures.

The Goonies!!

[GazeboMouse]

Whale Rider.
Fantastically acted Maori film about a little girl and the leadership of her tribe (over-simplified description, it's way better than that).

Master and Commander.
Sailing ships and life on the dangerous seas, without pirates! And a joke about weevils.

And something Bollywood, like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' (Bollywood warm fuzzy feel good traditional film with mega famous Indian actors in it!) or something.

Yeah, and 'The Goonies!'.

I love foreign films too, my wife's a linguist so she's always making me watch them.

Some of my favourite foreign films (not necessarily ones you have to see before you die but very, very good!).
