Ballot sent, can't see me watching anything new that's gonna crack my personal Top 25 in the next few days.
Hoping The Shawshank Redemption is eligible - I did watch a French dubbed version of it on dvd

My #1 is a fairly perfect film, so I will take it as an affront if it doesn't make the list.

I'll be sitting this one out since I'm not a fan of foreign films and plus it would be late for me to do a list since I'm recently working on my 2000's movies list. I'll be checking in and out on the countdown though when it starts.

This should be pretty exciting. I'll be sending mine in a few days before the deadline.

35 lists in now, and we have enough films with 25+ points on 2+ ballots to make a top 100.
The more lists, the merrier, keep them coming!

Has anyone asked about silent films with foreign subtitles yet?
If so, just point me in the right direction to look.

I just started to compile my list. Should we ask here about eligibility for certain films?

Eligibility questions
Closed
Foreign made silent/dialogue-free films - eligible
War and Peace (1966) - eligible
Open (feel free to comment and suggest)
Italian made dubbed films
Suggested ruling: Yes, if they are mostly available/best known in a foreign langauge e.g. Suspiria, The Leopard. No, if they are mostly available/best known in English e.g. The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980)
No, because it is listed on imdb and wikipedia as a tv mini series.

Yes, but I was more curious about certain films that feature two languages. For example, Villeneuve's Polytechnique.

If you vote for Polytechnique, it will count.
