i wonder what hell BOT could conjure up if we did a top foreign language films list. Inotuchables (rubbish) would probably hit the top 10.

Bergman & Kurosawa are sitting right there

gotta be a lot of filler for most people to get to 100 on a foreign films list and there are like 20 dragon ball movies.

Would the Great Wall count as a foreign language film, 40% of it is in Mandarin, I think.

[RealLyre]

We should do a best anime films list and get Grave of the fireflies at the top then

Top 5 Placements: 2
Top 12 Placements: 5
Metacritic: 90
Box Office: $48m WW
Awards: Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, out of 5 nominations; 3 Saturn Awards
BOT History: #8, Top Movies of 2013; #26, Top 100 Movies of the Century (2015); #93, Top 100 Movies of All Time (2016); #49, Top Sci-Fi Movies of All Time (2020); BOFFY awards for Best Original Screenplay and Production Design, out of 7 nominations
Critic Opinion: Arriving in an era when words like “intuitive” and “responsive” are used to describe the latest computers and gadgets, Her is a 21st-century love story that perfectly captures the mood of the times and finds new inroads into the exhilaration and heartbreak that have existed since the first “I love you.” Like Jonze’s first movie, Being John Malkovich, it bottles deep reserves of emotion in high-concept metaphysics: Dramatizing one man’s love affair with a computer is only slightly less absurd than imagining a portal into John Malkovich’s head, but at a certain point, the whimsy gives way to raw desire and hurt. It’s a deft kind of magic.” - Scott Tobias, The Dissolve
“What begins like an arrested adolescent dream soon blossoms into Jonze’s richest and most emotionally mature work to date, burrowing deep into the give and take of relationships, the dawning of middle-aged ennui, and that eternal dilemma shared by both man and machine: the struggle to know one’s own true self.” - Scott Foundas, Variety
BOT Sez: “Theodore's relationship with Samantha is meaningful and real, as both Phoenix and Johansson hit it out of the park in their performances, especially with Johansson having the harder material to pull of.  It's not only a smart exploration of our modern obsession with technology, something which is a catalyst for isolation, joy, and interestingly enough, closer connections, in this film, but it truly acts as a powerful study of love, life, and happiness. The characters in this film find such in unique, bizarre, and perhaps off-putting manners, but Jonze makes everything seem so real and honest, simultaneously breaking and warming our hearts.” - @Spaghetti
Commentary: Spike Jonze ended up directing only one feature in the past 10 years, but more than enough viewers agreed that it was a keeper. While its premise invited ridicule sight unseen, Jonze and his stacked cast's earnest commitment to it carried the resulting film to great acclaim, which included multiple industry awards for its screenplay.

I like takahata I could easily argue for Only Yesterday or Kaguya as the best ghibli but fireflies is... unfortunate.
