  6. 1st Parasite (Japan) 16 Votes: 476 Points 2020 Position: 1st Was hoping that this gimmick would end on a high... it didn't Yet again the second best film of the second best Korean director is the best foreign film ever. And you have that right, the top 2 were separated by 2 points. 80 points clear of 3rd and 220 points clear of 4th, yet two points between them. I think this highlights the difference between films that are huge among a region's fans and the very rare times that a film truly breaks into every genre of film fan. The top three on this list appeared on votes over and over and over again. So while Parasite only had 2 more top 10 votes than say Akira in 14th, it had more than double the number of votes rated from 11-100th and that adds up to a lot of points. So Korea almost made it to 10 films on this list. (although its 10th best rated film only managed 125th so it wasn't that close. The real list we all care about: 31 - Japan 15 - India 13 - France 9 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 3 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  7. 2nd Spirited Away (Japan) 15 Votes: 474 Points 2020 Position: 2nd So this film took place in some quiet village. Okay. The first non-child targeted Japanese animation that many of possibly watched. Fun fact. Even though it ended up finishing 80 points clear. Both this, and number 1 both were trailing Mononoke for a far amount of the tally up and then the top 2 pulled clear in the last few votes sent in. I think there were two big questions heading into this list for me. One was whether the top 2 from last time out would face any competition for their spots this time around, and the other was whether Spirited Away could beat the film that pipped it to the post the first time around. Well, we have the answer now. So Japan hits 31 votes. Anime about 17 entries on its own meaning that India just about pipped Japan for the title of most live action placements (this is significant as it is much easier to watch a dubbed animation than a dubbed live action film for example). The real list we all care about: 31 - Japan 15 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 3 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  8. 3rd Princess Mononoke (Japan) 14 Votes: 395 Points 2020 Position: 11th Well that is a rubbish attempt at a poster. Ghibli's 5th best film has done okay for itself here. Arguably the most epic Ghibli animation out there. Definitely one that has a strong case for being great and in my eyes, the one film that could potentially make a really cool live action remake if done with love. But it likely would be done with money so forget I said that. That brings up 30 for Japan and 13 for Studio Ghibli alone. Wow! 13 films for one studio is almost as impressive as the fact that I briefly questioned what percentage of the top 100 that would be. I am very clever. The real list we all care about: 30 - Japan 15 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 3 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  9. 4th Pan's Labyrinth (Mexico) 8 Votes: 251 Points 2020 Position: 4th Looks like a lovely time. From India's best film to European Language's best film. This film possibly would have won this vote if it had existed like 10 years ago when this film was fresher in the mind and another particular genre was quite as mainstream as it is now. It clearly has a lot of fans and is special for the fact that it is the highest rated film that I have not seen. I was going to give this to Spain but upon the rigorous fact-checking that I am famous for, I discovered it received the Oscar nomination in the name of Mexico, so that is where it goes. Which also allows Mexico to proudly declare itself clearly better than Russia. The real list we all care about: 29 - Japan 15 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 3 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  10. 5th Three Idiots (India) 7 Votes: 245 Points 2020 Position: 18th Or two idiot...apparently And finally some folks can be happy/disappointed. This is officially the best Indian film ever made and I can confidently say that... I have no idea how true that is, but Let's Go Team Kal Ho Naa Ho!! Anyhow, this certainly has its fans and there was a brief period where it was threatening to cause an even bigger impact. Either way, this is a good performance. And that takes India to 15 films and most likely confirms its position at number two (I cannot see France having 2 of the top 4, can you?) The real list we all care about: 29 - Japan 15 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 2 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  11. It was probably lower agreed. Let me check...
  12. See, this is how qualified I am to comment on this list
  13. 6th Seven Samurai (Japan) 9 Votes: 242 Points 2020 Position: 3rd But there are only four of them, and I don't think they are all samurai. Ah, the Bug's Life Premake. I think before this list even began, there were maybe 3 films that you would 100% be certain would make the top 10 and this is one of them. The most famous Japanese samurai film that spawned riffs and interpretations in multiple other nations and mediums. It is a classic and will likely never leave the top 10 of these votes. Is anything not Japan going to appear? The real list we all care about: 29 - Japan 14 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 2 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
  14. 7th Harakiri (Japan) 7 Votes: 240 Points 2020 Position: 25th This is the Samurais in samurai times type poster I expect from non-animated Japan. That's pretty much the scene I expect to be in every black and white Japanese film that hits this list. Another film new to the top 10 and another notch on the bedpost of Japanese cinema. I know I am very blase about casually saying that most of them are the same samurai film just remixed slightly, but a part of me does suspect that Kurosawa is a bit like you Kubrick, Tarantino, Hitchcock and such in that they have a way of doing things that means that if you love one film, there is a good shot that you will love everything. It's not that they are all the same, but there is a DNA that will resonate from film to film. Screw 30, Japan has a shot of being 1/3 of the list at this rate. The real list we all care about: 28 - Japan 14 - India 13 - France 8 - South Korea 5 - Sweden 5 - Hong Kong 4 - Germany 4 - Italy 2 - Mexico 2 - Russia (includes USSR) 1 - Poland 1 - China 1 - Denmark 1 - Norway 1 - Indonesia 1 - Brazil 1 - Taiwan
