If You Can't Say Anything Nice...

I had a look at the movies I've watched over the past decade or so, and put together a list of the non-English titles I thought worth watching. Certainly some are better than others, not just in the way we normally think of movies but also in the level of filmmaking ability, as a couple approach amateurish. But they're still all good, at the very least, often excellent, sometimes capital-G Great.

28 countries, not counting co-productions, which spreads the monetary pain in making these features. Weighted heavily towards South Korea, because I love me some excellent Korean cinema. And I haven't, speaking of Korea, included Snowpiercer on this list, since it is primarily English. I did, after some deliberation, include Okja, though. My house, my rules.

I certainly see some gaping holes now that I've done this list, though, and will need to patch them.
