Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown

Great finish. Can't argue with that top spot. In years to come I can't see Parasite being anywhere near so many people's top 5. It's a good film but highly out of place in my humble opinion.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Foreign Language Film Countdown

81/2 is obviously peak Fellini.

I'm not surprised Pan's Labyrinth is high up this list as it's regarded very highly here. But it's nowhere near top 10 material in my humble opinion. I don't even...
