I was a little disappointed that "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" weren't on the list. Of the movies listed, I've only seen "Spirited Away" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Does that make me a xenophobe?

For me Hollywood movies are foreign films too, but here's some of my favorite non American films:

Audition (Japan/South Korea)
Besatt (Denmark/Romania)
Chinese Ghost Story (HK)
Fever Pitch (England)
The Full Monty (England)
I Kina spiser de hunde (Denmark)
Indien (Austria)
Italiensk for begyndere (Denmark)
Jalla! Jalla! (Sweden)
Nightwatch (Denmark)
Nochnoy dozor (Russia)
Oldboy (South Korea)
Ong-Bak (Indonesia)
Les rivières pourpres (France)
Muttertag (Austria)
Sae-yi yaeseu (South Korea)
Shaun Of The Dead (England)
Versus (Japan)
Wasabi (France/Japan)

+ every single Louis de Funès movie

I think it´s a pretty good list, i have seen about 50% of the movies on the list. I would have had Dogville, House of Flying Daggers, Songs From The Second Floor, A Tale of Two Sisters and Shaun of The Dead on the list.

Hot Fuzz fucking sucked. They'll never live up to Shaun Of The Dead.

Amelie is a great movie. So is Pans Labyrinth.

Everybody should watch Ichi The Killer and Visitor Q.
