My personal Belgian Top 5
in non specific order

The Alzheimer case
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alzheimer_Case

Everybody's Famous
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody%27s_Famous%21

Daens
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daens_%28film%29

Man Bites Dog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Bites_Dog_%28film%29

Tot le heros
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_le_H%C3%A9ros


I have left out a lot of co-productions with other countries, but these are a good representation of what i would call Cinema Belgique Smile

Great movies. Rolf De Heer needs a mention. I'd also throw in Walkabout, now that I think about it.

Actually, it's amazing just how many crap movies are considered good by Canadians just because they were made in Canada. But these are good:

1. Dead Ringers
2. The Sweet Hereafter
3. The Decline Of The American Empire
4. Hard Core Logo
5. Le Confessional

It's a top 5 list. It's not like there's a cornucopia of selection, is there?
