The case has been made that foreign films are essential to increasing a persons
ability to empathize, and therefore everyone, not just lovers of cinema should watch
them. Seeing somebody completely different from you experiencing something
completely human is important, since understanding is what brings the people of the
world together.
This sentiment though can only be true if films do their job by being well-made and
telling important stories. In a way, it is also the job of movie lovers to spread these

This list hopes to get started on that and continue what other cinephiles have done so
well. Enjoy.

world whether it is to perform a motion-capture sequence or to have a romantic walk
with a woman played by Kylie Minogue. Holy Motors is weird and very proud of it,
which is all it needs to be an excellent film.
