Welt am Draht should be watched by anybody taht likes the Matrix Movies just to see where it comes from.
Also I do recommend Das Millionenspiel instead of Running Man.
Hollywood remade so many european films and still the european original is so much more great.
And always keep in mind that those movies never remade by Hollywood (surely for a good reason) are far more paying watching than any american crap.

Cinema Paradiso😪😪😪 Old Boy 😵💫😵💫😵💫 Gave me the strongest emotions of films I have seen. One of deep love and meaning and the other of sadistic revenge and reckoning. I'm glad they got a mention.

@vaibhavkumar5796Miracle in Cell No 7 (Turkish) should have at LEAST been mentioned. It is a beautiful, touching film.
The Minari Project is another good one.

@maxmancz8667All Quiet On The Western Front (2022) was nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture, and won for its score, production design, cinematography, and Best International Film. It really transports the viewer into one of history’s most brutal periods.
@BrunoEarmanyou have forgot about Bahubali,rrr,kgf and dangal they all are masterpiece, once watch.
@praveenjatoth-tj7nyOldboy is The GOAT
@vinay3223In my opinion, C.R.A.Z.Y is one of Quebec finest movie ! Also Bon Cop Bad Cop

@mhajan8298Pans labyrinth is my favorite!
@HalloweentokanYou forgot to mention that Pan's Labyrinth lost the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film to another pick of yours, The Lives of Others.
If it had to lose, I'm glad it lost to that one.

@jtmmprints.r.l3529Amélie is a masterpiece. I will never forget the feeling of watching this masterpiece for the first time with tears in my eyes.
@R.I.P_2022Mindless people will be like where is RRR?
@renuyayavaram9373Michelle Yeoh: lumionous in 2000. And in 2022.
@NickCC23My fave foreign language film I have to go back to 1950 with Rashomon.
@NickCC23Life is Beautiful was so sad. I remember they had us watch that in my World History class in high school... A movie y'all missed was Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds. Korean movie about forgiveness and sins of the past. Shit made me cry. I always say, it's not sad, it's beautiful
@xLonGxLegZxFilms like Train to Busan and RRR should have found at least an honorable mention in this list...

From India's greatest director Rajkumar hirani
Honorable mentions:
All Quiet on the Western Front

Amazing list! I've watched only a handful of movies from it, but they were all exceptional, as advertised!
@nyaahseeI've watched 17 of these movies, well I know the next 3 movies I'm going to watch. Though I think Wild Tales and The Handmaiden are better than a lot of the movies on this list.
@ayushpatel7597I remembered watching 3 Idiots when I was in Junior High.
It's pretty common in Asia that your profession is planned ahead by your parents without your consent. So the movie is relatable. You can feel the pressure and anxiety. It somehow touches your deepest fear and insecurities: what you really wanted to do in your life vs the life that your family expects you to, chasing their dreams or your own dreams, failing or succeeding.
I just rewatched it. I'm still amazed with the movie up until now.
