5 Reasons You Should Watch International Cinema

1. "OK, I Will Watch One Foreign Movie, But Then What?"

Thank you! Welcome to my world! Now, let€™s say you took my advice and watched Infernal Affairs because you liked the Departed, and you liked it as well. Or you watched Rec because you liked Quarantine. All you do now is what we all do when we watch a Hollywood movie and like it. We look out for the same director or actor who we liked the first time and see what he / she is doing next. Or if you have watched one Spanish comedy then look out for another one. 'Torrente: El Brazo Tonto de la Ley' has to be seen to be believed. I used this trusty method to look out for Terminator 2 after watching The Terminator. It was also invaluable to avoid Terminator 4 after watching Charlie€™s Angels. Equally, just go to Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB to check out what Spanish, Japanese, French or Mongolian movie is making waves. There will be some misfires, as every country has its McG equivalent, but hang in there because there is plenty of good stuff too. Happy hunting!
