List #4 in a series of 10
Rankings taken from TSPDT's 2025 list. Feature length films only (sorry, "Nuit et brouillard").
"Journey to Italy" (#9) is an interesting case; filmed primarily in English (Ingrid Bergman & George Sanders), but then dubbed into Italian for its release in that country, where it was made. What we get here is the film with the original English dialogue. tl;dr—it's my list, so I'm counting it.
