Ouch. Mine was one of those 5 ballots.

When this countdown started, I felt extremely confident that it would make the cut. It's shocking just how short it fell. :(

Me, too. I wonder if we voted for the same movie?

Edit: Actually Wyld's guess is probably correct for your pick.

I think The Seventh Seal is a very well made film and I respect it a lot, but I don't actually like it and it didn't get my vote.

I quite enjoyed Parasite and was surprised by how funny it was. I...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown

While I'm thrilled to see an animated film in the top 5, I'll never understand the popularity of Spirited Away. I've seen it a couple of times and I respect it, but it just doesn't wow me. Not even...

I haven't seen either of these two. Pan's Labyrinth always looked far too fantasy heavy for my tastes so I've never given it a shot.

I've been meaning to watch Downfall, but haven't yet gotten around to it. I watched Aguirre for the 15th HOF. I neither liked it nor disliked it.

I've seen Amelie a few times. I like the look of the film and the overall weirdness, but I detest the character of Amelie. She's creepy and unethical.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown

I watched Cinema Paradiso for the 19th HOF. I really disliked the character Toto and just found the movie disappointing overall.

I haven't seen Ran.

Ikiru is one of many Kurosawas that I've yet to watch and probably need to. I like all of his films I've seen so far.

I refuse to watch Andrei Rublev.

I've seen Late Spring twice (both times for the HOF) and didn't like it either time.
