The 100 best foreign-language films
The voting is in and an ordered list of the 100 best foreign-language films has been compiled. Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game -- which I saw for the first time last year, and loved -- takes the number one spot. I've seen only 12 of the top 25, so I've got my work cut out. (Damn you, French New Wave!)

I can tell without looking that I'm not going to do well on this list. Here we go:
95. RUN LOLA RUN
92. AMELIE
79. SUSPIRIA
76. ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER
67. DAS BOOT
61. CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON
53. Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN
33. SPIRITED AWAY
26. CITY OF GOD
19. LA DOLCE VITA
That was embarrassing.
I wish there were more Russian films, that's my best extraterritorial cinematic region. What was there, one?
