colombiano305856's "10 Best Foreign Films"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Have you ever watched, whether in the confines of your own home or anywhere else, a compelling and intriguing foreign film which you sought to recreate or reinvent or simply showcase to all who desired to listen? This article hopes to provide a definitive list of those motion pictures from different countries. Since there are a multitude of these foreign films (at least from the viewpoint of the United States), I have elected to have all of the entries in this list from individually different places. As a result, there are not two Italian films or two French films on the list. Some might even say I am choosing a cinematic representative!

An interesting list- and not just the usual suspects.


Just a note... — 4 years ago

Commenting on what I should have put or what I left is useless, since all it does is spark hours of endless debate. I suggest, but of course cannot force you, to instead create an alternate list in the body of your comment instead of criticizing me from excluding a motion picture from this list.
