Well here is my top 100 movies all of the movies listed are foreign movies and foreign language movies to me. Of course the list is over 2 years old so its not a 100% accurate anymore but most of the movies would still be among my top 100, but there are between 5 and 10 that would probably be replaced if i updated it. |

Foreign language films that would probably appear in my Top 50 Hana Bi (top 3) Kikujiro I'm catching up on a few Kitano's I haven't see yet. Just watched A Scene By the Sea, so beautifully spare and zen-like. Hoping to see Kikujiro sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Is is such a lovely mellow film and emphasis that Takeshi Kitano is more than just a director of violence and bloodshed...even though his violence and bloodshed films are more that just that themselves. Would love to hear your thoughts on Kikujiro whe you see it.

honestly this question sucks because I could list hundreds. True, he's my favorite director and I pretty much love all his films. More than just about any other director his films work together to form a unifying body of work due to how similar a lot of them are stylistically and thematically (almost infamously so). Having said that, a few of them do personally stand out for me as absolute favorites ( Late Spring, Tokyo Twilight, Floating Weeds and An Autumn Afternoon) and that doesn't take away anything from any of the others.

Like I could list all of Fellini, Melville, Tarkovsky, alot of Tati, Sanjit Ray, alot of Rohmer, Bresson, Jeunet. Murnau. |

Those are all great directors, yes, and there are hundreds of great non-English language films. Again, I don't think listing a few absolute personal favorites takes away from the greatness of the others though.
