100 Excellent Foreign Language Movies

Foreign language film (by which I mean anything not primarily in English), is great. I have discovered so many gems since really branching into foreign cinema. Here are 100 of them that I recommend. There is only one movies per franchise in the list, usually the first. I tried to make sure the range of languages represented was wide, but the fact is that Japanese films make up over 40% of the foreign films I've watched, so they're well represented here too.
