so while there are some non-English movies that stand out, there are not many.
What you mean to tell is that it is difficult for you to find good non-English movies. It seems to me that you are writing your opinion as a fact when you say that there are not many Non-English movies that stand out.
If non-English movies really do not stand out then how come they so often win Palme d'Or at Cannes, Golden Bear at Berlin and Golden Lion at Venice film festival.
Almost all the world recognises best directors having come from Germany, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Russia and many other countries. While USA (and other English nations) has its share of greatness in producing great movies and great directors such as Kubrik, they are not so far ahead that non-English movies don't stand out. Hell, even the best directors of USA continuously sing praises of great masters from all over the world.
