Top 250 movies out of the united states


Hi from Istanbul - Turkey,
I chose the best 250 film for me is not the construction of the united states. This selection is a demanding job and was very difficult to prepare
because the 250 is a great figure, you can select from hundreds of foreign films at 250 and I took my time with this movie too .. sort through 115 years of cinema in honor of this list is totally subjective list was prepared by me

Wow that's an impressive collection, although I've only seen about fifty of those.

You've seen them all?

Off the top of my head I'd also add Diva, Children of Nature, The Scent of Green Papaya, Delicatessan, Eat Drink Man Woman, Cold Fever and The Hairdesser's Husband :)
