Good Dutch movies? Well, never seen many as most of them suck. Also a warning, many dutch producers are obsessed with "functional nudity".

Soldaat van Oranje (There is a dub called Survival Run)

Zwartboek

Komt een vrouw bij de dokter

Loft

De Aanslag

Doodslag

If you ever watch these, be prepared for some heavy shit. Soldaat van Oranje, De Aanslag and Zwartboek are about WW2. Komt een vrouw bij de Dokter, Loft and Doodslag are pretty heavy human dramas.

A more lighthearted but typical movie would be New Kids Turbo. Do not actually watch this and expect some high quality movie...

Also, The American was made by a Dutchy. Great movie.

Oooh, The American is Anton Corbijn, isn't it? I love Control. It's a beautiful movie. Will check out the American; I haven't had a chance to catch it.

Yep, Anton Corbijn it is. Never seen Control, but I'll have a look at it soon. Looking up all these Dutch movies made me see how much of a backlog I have to go through :P

I've seen New Kids Turbo multiple times and and it never got less funny. The first 15 minutes are especially hard to understand because the original actors voiced the characters also in other languages, but after a while you get used to it and eventually start to understand them pretty good. That movie really is hilarious!

I didn't know that there were also dubs in other languages :O

The funniest part of this is that people in the north tried to talk like these guys (Maaskantje is in the south, near 's-Hertogenbosch). Also, when the second movie came out, whole Eindhoven was teeming with guys dressed like them...
