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! :) |

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
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. |

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!

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.
