Re: Best Foreign Films

Interesting list but there's a lot missing. This is the problem with lists..

One poster commented on the blog featuring this list that it resembles the Critearon collection, I tend to agree and me thinks this is how people have voted. They've visted the Critearon Collection's website, noted the films and voted on them. Shame, because they've missed a lot of World Cinema out in this list...

Interesting to look at though..

Re: Best Foreign Films

Wow, as a lover of foreign films I appreciate that list. I've seen about a third of them thanks to Netflix. I would add a few of my own, some more recent than many of the classics on the list:

- Il Postino
-Indochine
- The Lives of Others
- Seven Beauties
- Before the Fall
- The Last Kiss
- After the Wedding
- Caterina in the Big City
- Avenue Montaigne
