*Not the primary nation of production for the movie (will replace when I see a better representative)

The Postman is a belgian movie from 1994 ? How come I've never heard of it ? What's it about ? Who directed it ? Who plays in it ? What's the original title of it ?

lukeprog02/18/2005

Yup. I'm just going by whatever nations the IMDB lists for films, including 2nd, 3rd, 4th, whatever nations.

cramoukji03/22/2005

I see, Belgium did take part in financially producing Il Postino but it's nothing near a "belgian movie"... you may want to refer to my "Belgium with a B as in Brunettes : belgian directors who might tickle your fancy and selected movies" list for more info on famous belgian movies :)

lukeprog03/22/2005

Yes, I'm definitely 'stretching it' with this list, but I'm always filling it with more appropriate titles as I see them.

lukeprog03/27/2005

There, I've seen Man Bites Dog. That's a real 'Belgian movie.' :-)

rudolf5509/21/2006

Though it's not the best Belgian movie

Well, not my favourite anyway.

Sorry, just giving my opinion :P

lukeprog09/21/2006

No problem. I'm not making any attempt to list the "best" of any country, just one of them. What's the best Belgian movie?

lukeprog11/25/2006

Japanese culture never ceases to amaze me.
