| Round Midnight is good. Not sure it quite qualifies as an expat movie though since Dale Turner (Dexter Gordon) is just temporarily living in Paris and it's not exactly the focus of the movie. |

| There is a really, really good French film about a MA student who goes to Barcelona to study Spanish and he lives in this house with a Brit, a Spaniard, an Italian, a Dane, a German and a ... forget but the film is called 'pot luck' (or thats its English title) and it is about the trials and tribulations of living in a foreign land... I highly recommend it. |

The Quiet American.
I love that movie. Michael Caine is the expat in question, living in Vietnam when the French were running the show. |

Empire of the Sun is pretty good, Christian Bale as a kid in Shanghai during the Japanese invasion.
On the flip side there's Daisy, a so-so crime/romance story about Korean expats in Amsterdam. |

I was an extra in that movie. You know the scene where they're about to walk into the cafe and a grenade explodes in the distance and Frasier asks "What's that" and Caine says "Just a grenade" or something like that? The camera was just about to pan around to where I was sitting and then...scene change! I was crushed. |

| The Razor's Edge (1984) with Bill Murray was an excellent movie. It shows how living abroad can change you...good stuff. |
