| | Posted: | | | | So, looking over the list of available countries of origin, it seems I am lacking films from only three of them. Can anyone recommend films available on DVD that were produced in any of the following countries:
Estonia
Malaysia
Portugal
Thanks in advance! | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | That list does take care of finding a Portuguese film, thanks Silence. And the other two look quite good ... but don't seem to have a US release. I probably should have said that anything must be Region 1 or 0. I don't have a region free player.  | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Maybe this helps. There are 8 films of Manuel de Oliveira with a US release to be found under Director.
Criterion released a DVD of Pedro Costa films.

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, between the lists Silence left, and the Oliveira and Costa stuff, that covers Portugal.
Anything with a US release from Malaysia or Estonia? | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Sügisball from Estonia has a US release. Klass (from Ilmar Raag) is also an ok movie, but I don't know if there's a US or region 0 release. |

| | Posted: | | | | Cool, thanks Railroaded! Between those and Sugisball, that's several options for Estonia.  Anyone for R1 releases for Malaysia? | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | That's great! I'm glad to know what the English title. I looked up the Malaysian title on Amazon and all I got was a PAL release. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
