Undertaking a list like this is never an easy task for anyone because the legacy of world cinema is infinitely rich and affects different people in a lot of different ways. However, it is definitely worth trying to note down some of the most influential foreign films of all time, films that have intrigued us with their unfamiliar charm and the ones that have moved us to tears with their destructive beauty.
In order to prevent the monopoly of any one film director (Yes, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky and Bergman, I am looking at all three of you), we have decided to include 25 different filmmakers for this extensive list, to make it more inclusive but a list like this will always be dominated by some of the greatest masters of the art of cinema. You will see the word "masterpiece" being thrown around a lot because each of these 25 entries deserves our undivided attention, such is their irresistible power.
