The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Films: The Countdown
 

Welcome to the Movieforums Top 100 Foreign Language Films Countdown!

A list of the top movies in a language other than English, as voted for by movieforums members.

There were 74 ballots submitted in total, the majority of them the full 25.

The voters: Nope 1172, martyrofevil, Holden Pike, Tramuzgan, John W Constantine, ahwell, Steve Freeling, sawduck, Matt72582, Loner, Diehl40, Nidral, Harry Lime, Allaby, Miss Vicky, Guaporense, SpelingError, Thursday Next, Torgo, Kaplan, Phoenix74, John Dumbear, seanc, Skepsis93, Hey Fredrick, HashtagBrownies, GulfportDoc, PahaK, Mr Minio, Chypmunk, the samoan lawyer, Takoma11, mark f, re93animator, neiba, Thracian Dawg, crumbsroom, donniedarko, Thief, wositelec, Citizen Rules, Rockatansky, Taz, ElizabethOliver, MovieMad16, Jabs, Wyldesyde19, KeyserCorleone, Jinnistan, Fabulous, Okay, resopamenic, rauldc14, cricket, Siddon, rbrayer, John-Connor, edarsenal, jiraffejustin, ApexPredator, ScarletLion, Yoda, kgaard, Frightened Inmate No. 2, moongirl, intialen, gbgoodies, Iroquois, WBadger, Captain Spaulding, Aidanc, Nemanja, sarah f, gandalf26

753 different films were voted for. That’s a lot of films! There were a lot of really good films that didn’t quite make the top 100. So, in anticipation of the question, “how come X movie didn’t make it?”, the answer is simply because other movies got more points.

Please join in the discussion, but don’t share your full list until the end. Try to keep discussion respectful and on-topic, and no gongs.

Here we go! :)

The One- Pointers

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Just to note: I will be kicking this off today with the one-pointers, with the intention of starting the list proper tomorrow. Yoda has a few behind the scenes things to do still and is working very hard to make this list awesome, so there may be a slight delay. We appreciate your patience! :)

In the meantime, your predictions/faildictions:

What will the films at #100 and #99 be?

What will be the most recent film to appear on the list and how high will it get?

Which country will have the most films on the list?

Which director will appear the most times?

How many of the top 100 will be animated movies?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

What do you mean no gongs???

https://monophy.com/media/1Ajo5mtcJh...cR/monophy.gif

Parasite, 60ish.

France

tie: Kurosawa/Bergman

2

Way back in the 90s countdown there was a poster who complained and posted a gif of a gong every time a foreign film showed up.

Viridiana and Umberto D. I'm just taking a wild guess here, btw.

Parasite. Probably around the middle of the list.

France, I'd say.

Kurosawa and Fellini.

At least 5.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Yay. Looking forward to it. I expect Japan and France to do well.

Faildictions (バージョン 1.0):
100. Viridiana (1961)
99. Ba wang bie ji [Farewell My Concubine] (1993)


Extracurricular faildictions (not covered by license):
Most recent film: Manbiki kazoku [Shoplifters] (2018)
- Position: 86
Most popular country: Japan
- count: 16
Most popular director: Akira Kurosawa
- count: 6
Number of animated movies: 5

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Very excited for this! I can hardly wait:)

I wonder if any films from America made it that were filmed in a foreign language? I can think of at least one The Passion of the Christ.

Japan.

1. No idea

2. Parasite seems like a good choice

3. South Korea? Japan?

4. Kurosawa

5. Around 6 and 7 (A bunch of Ghibli, Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, Your Name?)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

As I attempted to compile a list, it became very clear to me that I need to see more films made in other countries. I could barely recall a list of 25 that I had seen, let alone a best of. I ended up not submitting a list, instead planning on using this countdown as a jumping off point for more foreign film watching. I plan on participating as much as possible in the thread, or as much as my limited time lately will allow. Thanks to TN for running this thing!

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/b8...08f54b9077.gif

Alternative faildictions (:goof: edition 1.0):

I deserve this and worse from every MoFo...

I Want to Know What Love Is at #1 or the list fails.

I can think of a film with this song in it that would be eligible :)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I'll be surprised if Japan doesn't dominate, but I think Italy, France and Russia will do well themselves. I can see about 20% going to Japan FTR.

It has become a bit of a tradition to list the one-pointers. One Pointers are films that received exactly one point, which means a single person had them in the last spot on their ballot (25th), and they received no other votes from anyone else. There were quite a few 1 pointers, 38 in total and they were:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Only seen 2 of those. The Mirror which was quite good and must have been Sean's. Also saw My Life as a Dog but didn't care for that at all.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

That's a long post. Please don't quote the whole thing :laugh:

There was no picture for Adrift on the Nile.

The Hunt had a few more votes, but it became apparent that most of those people meant the other The Hunt from 2012. Same title, same year, much confusion. It might be that the person who had this at #25 also meant the other one, but I didn't hear back from them so I have to take the one they put on their ballot.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I've seen 3 of the 1 pointers: My Life as a Dog, La Vie En Rose and Wild Zero, which was my #25. Is it really the 25th best foreign film I've ever seen? Probably not. Is it a riot of zombies and rock and roll? Yes it is.

Witchhammer was my one pointer.
Everyone is aware of the the Salem Witch Trials, but Czechoslovakia also had the Moravia Witch Trials in the 1670’s where many innocent people were tried and executed only after having being tortured into confessing. What’s worse, they were made to implicate others as well.

Based on actual events, and actual people, it is also a allegory on the communist trials of the 1950’s in what was then known as the Czech Republic during the communist takeover.

I didn’t learn that until after I had watched it, but it helps puts things into perspective.

A fascinating look into what happens when an individual is given too much power and how he trampled any who stood against him. And a look a sad and tragic past that they were doomed to repeat.

I’ve seen four of the one pointers, heard of many of them and of those that I haven’t, most look interesting.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is from me. I put it at that spot for the specific reason of getting it some representation. I nominated in the current Russian Hall and it is getting a good reception. I'm just happy to get some eyeballs on it, it's the best film from the great director Aleksandr Petrov who has only made good films.

I've seen 11 of the 1-pointers. (Yes, Smog Monster is one of them.)

He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not was mine. I never managed to get out of my movie watching slump so all of my list was based on memory alone. It's been some time since I last watched it, but I remember really liking the way the story was told from two very differing perspectives.

The only other one I know I've seen is In This Corner of the World. I only watched it once (under less than ideal circumstances while on a road trip) and was kind of underwhelmed. I've been meaning to give it a second chance though.

My Ballot:
25. He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not (One-Pointers)

Seen a few of those and Red Angel was a contender for my list. My 1 pointer has a good chance to make the countdown. F**k tradition:D

It was. I probably would have had The Mirror a bit higher but I had a feeling I would be the lone vote. So I did the Mofo thing and put it at 25.

The Mirror is also the only one pointer I have seen. White Material I s the only ones be really on my radar so this should be interesting.

La fin du jour [The End Of The Day] is mine, it made my 1930s countdown and is directed by Julien Duvivier (who also helmed Pépé Le Moko two years earlier for those that know that one). Sadly it never made that countdown, I was quite possibly the only one to vote for it - so decided it had to get my one-pointer spot for this in order to give it that moment in the limelight I feel it deserves.

Aside from them both having being released in 1939 (and my rating both +) there's absolutely no connection to Le jour se lève [Daylight] - but they'd still make a quality 'dawn to dusk' double-bill imo.

Of the other one-pointers I've only seen:

• Audition (2000)
• Port of Shadows (1938)
• Way of the Dragon (1972)
• Mongol (2007)
• Red Angel (1966)

As ever the one-pointer list makes me feel unworthy of being a MoFo :D

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Hmm, genuinely surprised that Audition only got one vote. I mean, I didn't vote for it, and I'm not a very huge fan of it, but it always gets mentioned when people ask for foreign recommendations.

The only other One-Pointers I've seen were...

JCVD (2008)
Mongol (2007)

I had both of these in my bubble, but there's just too much good stuff to nominate. I also haven't seen Mongol since its release so it's somewhat blurry in my mind.

The last One-Pointer I saw was MINE :D

The Lunchbox (2013)

https://www.sbs.com.au/movies/sites/...?itok=9zpSm6S4

A beautiful and touching Indian film about two unsuspecting people meeting and maybe falling in love. Even though it might seem like a romantic film on the surface, it's really a more introspective look into relationships and age. Wonderful performances by the two leads (Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur).

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Actually I think I saw Audition way back in the day, but remember nothing of it. Think it was for a mofo tournament.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I've seen 21 of the one-pointers and have 3 lined up to watch this week. Good kick-off to the countdown.

You're also slacking on your Cannes list :)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

F*** Cinema (2004) is my one-pointer. :3

The Blue Light (1932) was my one pointer. I wanted some recognition for one of the great women directors, Leni Riefenstahl.

"At one time Leni Riefenstahl was considered the world's greatest woman director. That was before her association with members of the Nazi party lead to her being blacklisted. The Blue Light was her first film and it's easy to see why she was so well respected as a director/cinematographer. Her attention to artistic cinematography and details gives the film an ethereal quality." CR

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

The only one pointers I've seen are:

Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks
The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I just checked and I think I started the one-pointer tradition. My Mofo legacy!

On that note, I got a one-pointer:

Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks (2004) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389448/

An amazing documentary that I highly recommend, assuming you have just over nine hours of free time to watch it. You can break it up into parts if nine hours is too much for one sitting. Five hours one day, four later in the day. Or something like that.

She sure went crazy with these filters in Blue Light. All Berg films with her are very much worth seeing, too. She climbed barefoot and rarely used safety ropes. Her documentaries are incredible. She had infinite budget and really used it. Watch Tiefland if u haven't already. Reportedly she used some people from concentration camps as extras

Films at 100 and 99:
100. Go For Zucker
99. The Wailing

Most recent film and how high:
Parasite...I'm going to guess top half for sure, probably top 40.

Country with most films on list? Japan, although Korea and Italy will be close.

Director appearing the most times: Akira Kurosawa

How many of the top 100 will be animated: Let's go with 7. Miyazaki will make up the majority along with Akira, Persepolis and The Triplets of Belleville.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Tie Xi Qu us amazing but it's so 2013. Real cinephiles watch his Crude Oil now. 14 hours.

PS: it's not as good as Tie Xi Qu

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

You can really feel the extra five hours. Needed an editor.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Of the ones on the list, I've only heard of La Vie en Rose, Audition and The Lunchbox. Only had a chance to see the latter...missed it due to school stuff, but I've been keeping a list of titles I missed over the years and I plan to catch up to them one day.

The Triplets of Belleville failed to make it on the animation countdown, despite receiving several votes. It's a great film, but I'd be surprised if it makes it here.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Anna was my No.25., a 15 minute film about a woman desperately searching for a better life. It's so short but it is so well made and packs such a punch, I really hope the director of it makes a feature someday.

I saw it on an online film festival so I don't know when it will be made widely available, but take note of it so you can check it out when it's out.

All I'll say about the rest of them is that I have a few of them on my watchlist and I'm quite surprised no one else picked Audition, I thought it was a classic.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Completely forgotten what I picked for this. Heavily reworked my favourites list after submitting my ballot for this lol.

You should have a PM in your inbox that you received automatically when you submitted your ballot.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I think Kurosawa will win this for the record, but I'm rooting for Ozu, Mizoguchi, or Bergman

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Ugh once again I missed the deadline. The only one pointers I have seen

Rikki-Oh
Godzilla vs Hedorah
Audition (Which would have made my list)
Way of the Dragon

#100 The Royal Tailor
#99 Opera

Parasite (#23)

France

Akira Kurasawa

2 Animated Films

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Pretty sure I've seen six of the one-pointers.

Audition was the first Miike I saw. I wasn't a huge fan back then, but I think it deserves a rewatch, to be honest. The viewing of The Way of the Dragon is even further back in time, but I doubt it'll benefit from a rewatch. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is yet another one I've seen too long ago to say anything meaningful. I mostly remember some over-the-top violence. JCVD was pretty OK, and it showed that JCVD can even act. The Platform was an OK (and above-average Netflix film) dystopia/political allegory.

And my own one-pointer was Eight Deadly Shots (or Kahdeksan surmanluotia as the original Finnish title is). One of the few Finnish films I like. It's a TV production inspired by true events and done with huge passion (director and the star of the film, Mikko Niskanen, drank moonshine and sleep-deprived himself to get to a proper mental state). I've read that 4k restoration is being done (funded by Coppola's foundation), but there hasn't been any news in a couple of years. Hopefully, it gets released by Criterion or something.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

From the one-pointers, I've seen The Way of the Dragon, JCVD and The Lunchbox. None are favourites, but I do like them all. Dragon has a scene where a character gets hit in the balls so hard that he dies, so it's obviously quality cinema.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Also, I realized after the deadline that there was one movie I'd meant to vote for and have been kicking myself for not including it. Let's see if it makes the countdown.

Have you watched both version? The television version and the theatrical version? I know the theatrical version has a much less run time, but I wonder how much it loses in its truncated form.

Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession (1973) was my one-pointer. It was recommended to me by @Tramuzgan when I asked for recommendations for this countdown. It's a fun movie that reminded me of a Mel Brooks type of comedy.

You can read what I wrote about it in my recommendations thread here.

very pleased to discover that at least one other person voted for my #25

Wang Bing needs to learn to cut, right? :lol:

I thought I'd wasted my 1 pointer by not choosing an obscure enough film. I'm the one person who had Audition on his list (albeit 25th) - and if @Paulielexx hadn't of missed the deadline it wouldn't gave graced the 1-pointer reveal. For that I'm kind of grateful.

It's been ages since I saw JCVD, but I remember really liking it a lot. It's one of those films I never want to watch again for fear it won't be good a second time around...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

So there is someone else out there who voted for the Cremator? Reveal yourself!

A significant historical figure, the warrior-king who united the disparate tribes of Mongolia and created one of the world's greatest empires in history. Wolves, thunder, lightning, monumental landscape shots, epic and glorious horse and sword battles. Assassins on horse with double blades. Of course Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan was on my ballot. @ # 25.


From the other one-pointers Port Of Shadows came closest to making my ballot, I have it at #35.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Other than my one pointer, The Cannibals (1988), I've only seen The Platform (2019)

My list:

25. The Cannibals (1988)

Which The Hunt is this??

My one pointer is White Material (2009)


https://feminema.files.wordpress.com...l-original.jpg




This is the story of a family of white farmers in an unnamed African country. As a civil war erupts the family tries to sell one last crop while the rebels take over the country. What I like about this film is that it doesn't just portray colonialist as a bad and the rebels as good. All the characters are given a sense of humanity and shown to be complex and flawed human beings. This is the sort of thing you don't see in Hollywood films.

This is all I have ever really seen of Riki-Oh...
https://i.imgur.com/UiGpWQo.gif
...but I have seen it twelve thousand times, thanks to Craig Kilborn. And when has anybody ever thanked Craig Kilborn for anything?

The one on the one-pointer list is this one, a French horror movie.

The other The Hunt is this one, a Thomas Vinterberg drama starring Mads Mikkelson. Some people who meant to vote for this one accidentally voted for the first one at first.

I've only seen the long version. It's also the only version that's easily available (in Finnish national TV's streaming site - sadly no foreign subs). I'd definitely suggest seeing the full 5+ hours thingy.

What a lovely looking Michèle Morgan!

You can thank me for making it my one-pointer.

Was Port of Shadows your 1-pointer?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Gonna be a bit longer on my end, guys! Thanks for your patience, just don't wanna rush this too much and it's been a crazy week. :)

[added to Watchlist]

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

Oh, it's a trip alright. Imagine if a Bruce Lee movie had effects straight out of early Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson.

Dammit. I really did mean to get a list in for this.

Of the one pointers I've seen Audition, Wild Zero, Way of the Dragon, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky and Mongol.

For one-pointers, I've seen three, two of which, I fully agree with what has been said by the ones nominating them:
and my own, nomination:
And initially, and I'm sure it'll get longer, I already have Port of Shadows on my Watchlist/ Jab's Film Challenge



Movies Seen: 0 of 0 (0.00%)
25) In This Corner of the World (2016) One Pointer

https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/2606401...screenshot.jpg

JCVD was my one-pointer. Hopefully there's a parallel universe where Van Damme received an Oscar nomination, in addition to a slew of other awards, for his vulnerable performance in the film, catapulting him back into the mainstream and rescuing him from the doldrums of direct-to-video fare that rarely capitalize on his talent and charisma. To anyone who says the man can't act, I present this six-minute monologue in which Van Damme breaks the fourth wall to bare his soul to the viewer. Remove the impressively choreographed long take during the opening credits and you essentially remove all action from the film. JCVD is more akin to an extremely meta Dog Day Afternoon than Bloodsport or Kickboxer. Van Damme, playing a fictionalized version of himself, is taken hostage at a Belgium post office by petty criminals whom the action hero would typically dispose of with a single roundhouse kick, but this isn't a movie set with pulled punches and guns equipped with blanks. This is the "real world," with real violence and life-or-death consequences. How does an action hero save the day when there's no script or second takes? I grew up idolizing the Muscles from Brussels and still consider him one of my favorite actors, so the blurring of reality and fiction in JCVD likely hits harder for me than it would non-fans, especially with Van Damme exposing the naked vulnerabilities and real-life shortcomings beneath his on-screen persona; but this is a movie I would also highly recommend to people who wouldn't typically watch anything Van Damme related. Here he aims to roundhouse kick you in the soul, not the face.

As for the other one-pointers, I've seen seven in total. My favorite of those is Riki-Oh, which is one of the most cartoonishly violent films I've ever watched. It's like a live-action Fist of the North Star set within a prison.

I totally agree with this. It was a very pleasant and surprising watch.

No, I never heard of the film. Sounds pretty good, though.

We’ve been had, fellow MoFos! There is no countdown! Yoda and Thursday has tricked us! It was all one epic joke!
All of our ballots have also been replaced with votes for...wait for it....
Inception!

Austruck will be happy to finally be right!

Darn you Christopher Nolan! You finally really did it. You maniac!

late one pointer reaction
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/82...dbf2c1d2d3.gif

yeah, F cinema, interactive media is the future of the artform!

Remember that this is a foreign language movie list, so it's only available in foreign countries. You have to get a VPN and change your location to read it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

You'll all probably have to readjust your clocks for this countdown, Thursday's on Britland time I believe, so it'll probably be more evenings than mornings day-to-day.

Anyway, for my end, I think we've reached the level of Acceptable (no promises I won't tweak things as we go though ;)), so it's close now.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

100. Mall Cop on Duty in Japan
99. Ramen Teriyaki

I hope Super Karate Monkey Death Car makes the cut.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD5Hgzayhj8

Como es una lista de películas extranjeras, el ajuste que voy a hacer es que de ahora en adelante voy a escribir todo en español. Ajustense ustedes :shifty:

The number 1 is an educational foreign film on how to speak English.

No cualifica :shifty:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

I'm still wondering if the home-video of our very own @cat_sidhe flicking through an Ikea catalogue whilst sitting on the can will have garnered enough support to make it?

(I know technically it never had a cinema release but even the Oscars are allowing internet crap in these days so imo it might still qualify)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown
 

So just dropping in to check things out, where is #100 and #99? lol

my one pointer didn't make it, well, I guess it might make the top 100 (it is kinda famous but not among the ones sure to make it)

See above: Thursday's in Europe, so in general the entries will probably go up in the evening for those of us in the U.S.

oh ok cool, good to know
