Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Pan's Labyrinth is obviously my No.1. Someone else had it a No.1, I am dying to find out who it was.

You and me both my man!

Lololol

Thank you!

Simple reveals are nice and clean looking as well though. Each reveal is slightly different depending on the host, and I think that's part of the charm of these HoFs.

I am genuinely surprised that Phoenix placed as high as it did. I was expecting it to sit somewhere in the middle of the pack. It was actually the only film in this HoF that didn't place in the bottom three on any list.

Well deserved for Phoenix, had it as my No.8 but it's impossible to dismiss how well the story is told.

I'm surprised too but you nailed it, avoiding low votes. It's a good solid movie that's hard to find much fault with.

I really liked it and had it higher up on my list, but would have guessed it to be in the middle of the pack too.

Yup, that's how The Station Agent won in the 15th.

5. Assassination
6. Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Congrats to Citizen for picking the most well-received film! I was silently rooting for The Sword of Doom, but they're both solid films. A lot of people called Umbrellas winning this right at the start, so I think most of the surprises in this reveal came from the placement of some of the other films.

I do think it's amusing that Age of Shadows and Assassination ended up right next to each other, which I didn't even notice until I had started the reveal haha.

If I voted my my nom first, there would have been a tie, but I hate ties!

1. Umbrellas of Cherbourg
2. Sword of Doom
3. Pan's Labyrinth
4. The Leopard
5. The Saragossa Manuscript
6. Thelma
7. Benny's Video
8. Phoenix
9. Assassination
10. The Age of Shadows
11. Entre Nos
12. Samsara


Super duper job all the way through as host Cosmic, the most predictable thing ever.

Congrats on the victory CR, have a cigar!

Thanks!

And I would definitely be up for hosting another HoF. This has been quite fun.
