That man from Rio( L homme de Rio)

Barry Lyndon.

A very solid list! I might have added Marathon Man and Deliverance myself, but that’s a minor quibble.

dirty mary crazy larry, two lane blacktop, le casse, la nuit americaine

Seen a lot of then, what about Bring me the 'Head of Alfedo Garcia' 'Enter the Dragon' and some of Pam Grier's classics like 'Foxy Brown' Any of these fims listed are a thousand times better than the krap hollywood churns out now.

better title would be my favourite foreign films

A=Alien. B=Blazing Saddles. C =Chinatown. D=Dr. Strangelove. E=Easy Rider. F=The French Connection. G =The Godfather I&II. H=High Noon I=Insomnia(Pacino and Williams). J=Jaws. K=King Kong(1933). L=LA Confidential. M=Marathon Man. N=Night Moves. O=Once Upon A Time In 😢The West. P=Psycho. Q=Quantom Solace. R=Raiders Of The Lost Ark. S=Saving Private Ryan. T=John Carpenter's The Thing. U=The Usual Suspects. V=The Verdict(Paul Newman). W=White Heat. X=Xtro. Y=Young Frankenstein. Z=Zardoz

Love My Girlfriend's Boyfriend - one of Rohmer's absolute best, and somewhat overlooked.

Lots of good choices that would be on my list too. There are many but a few 80s standouts for me are Excalibur (1981), Local Hero (1983), The Big Chill (1983), Jean De Florette/Manon Des Sources (1986), Innerspace (1987), Moonstruck (1987), The Lost Boys (1987), The Untouchables (1987), The Princess Bride (1987) and Midnight Run (1988).

These are not my favorite films albeit I like some of them. I will check out the foreign movies that I have not seen, and I am glad that they are included. I have seen BREATHLESS, LILITH, BONNIE AND CLYDE , THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, BLOWUP, and a few more. I have never heard of some of them

Love, love, love Breathless ❤ Richard Gere was it after American Gigolo. Skip Officer & a Gentleman. Hated the shaved head

Interesting choice in films. Here's mine: 1. Cinema Paradiso 2. The Green Ray 3. After Hours 4. Indiana Jones films 5. Return of the Jedi 6. Dead Poets Society 7. Amadeus 8. A Time to Live Time to Die by Hou Hsiao Hsien 9. Das Boot 10. Platoon 11. On Golden Pond 12. Boyfriends and Girlfriends 13. Casualties of War 14. Witness 15. El Sur 16. Where is the Friend's House? 17. To Live and Die in LA 18. High Hopes 19. The Last Temptation of Christ 20. Ran 21. Kagemusha *22. The King of Comedy Also is Boyfriends & Girlfriends called My Girlfriend's Boyfriend elsewhere? We call it B&G.

Some fine choices Stevie baby. Maybe this is the decade we'd differ most in our choices due to our age difference, however.

Fantastic list. I adore My Girlfriends Boyfriend. It might be my favourite Rohmer film. It made me cry. I love Pauline At The Beach too. King Of Comedy is a masterpiece. Paris, Texas is a wonderful film again I cried in the third act. I don't disagree that it's the best film of the 80s it would be on my list somewhere. Some very interesting choices not the typical films you normally see.

Good to see 2046 in there I've always loved that film. My favourite films of the decade are in the mood for love. The Pianist and the Darjeeling limited.

My favourite films of the 70s are. 1. A Clockwork Orange. 2. Saturday Night Fever. 3. Superman. 4. Cabaret. 5. Don't Look Now.

Great list again. Great decade. My top 3 are. 1. A Fistful Of Dollars. 2. The Birds. 3. Late Autumn.

Really interesting list. Again there's some I haven't seen. I think the 50s might be favourite decade for film honestly. So many amazing films. Great to see some Mizoguchi. That brings me to my favourite film of the 50s which is The Life Of Oharu. My second favourite is La Strada. Number three is Singin In The Rain.

Having not seen the two italian films, Ilya Muromets and Cairo Station, I basically agree with your choices. There is a film that I find always missing: "There is not greater love"(1959), the first part of Kobayashi´s "The Human Condition". Perhaps , being part of a trilogy released between two decades make it more difficult to appear in both of them.

Great list I haven't seen all of them. Some interesting choices. Nice to see Diamonds Are Forever in your top 20. I also love the film. Its a lot of fun and unfairly criticized. its my first or second favourite Bond film.

70s were the best decade for music, and American movies (60s for foreign movies). Check out the movies: Harry and Tonto, Nashville, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Network, A Woman Under The Influence

I'll toss in "Lord Love a Duck," which is rich in social satire aimed at dysfunctional families, the education system in the US, Christianity, and the youth culture of the time. Even the music score is a parody of itself. Never heard of it? I hadn't either until just recently.

Excellent list Steve. Nice to see Wallace and Gromit in there. Twelve others I loved: The Prestige, A Prophet, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, There will be Blood, Caché, In Bruges. Yi Yi, The Aviator, Downfall, Master and Commander, Hot Fuzz, Donnie Darko.

the first time i see an arabic movie in a list like this i mean cairo station 1958 directed by youssef chahine from egypt

the winners: martin scorsese and andrei tarkovesky and the goodfather part 1 and part 2 not on the list.

I’m glad that you describe them as “your favourites” rather than “the best”, as so many would.

Great list. I didn't know two of the non-English speaking films but most of the others would make my 70s top 50. My only criticism is that all your choices are very... um... 'worthy'. A lot of the fun of "favourite" or "best" lists is down to the guilty pleasure factor. In other words, films that most critics ignore or trash. My 70s top 20 would have to include 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory', 'Fiddler on the Roof', 'That'll Be the Day' 'The Warriors' & 'Shampoo'! Also, while 'Performance' is brilliant, I think that 'Walkabout' and especially 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' are even better Roeg films.

Il conformista.... L'importante è amare.. Due gioielli con attori straordinari ... Nel primo Trintignant Dominique Sanda ecc ... Nel secondo Romy e Kinsky stratosferici ...

"french connection" "l'exorciste" "le mystère Andromède" "l'argent de la vieille" "le survivant" "soleil vert" "mort à Venise" "l'affaire Mattei" "la malédiction" "ludwig" "parfum de femme" "le désert des tartares" "le professeur" "le boucher" "les diables" "sacré graal" "trop tard pour les héros" "la vie privée de sherlock holmes" "le limier" "waterloo"

Two Lane Blacktop, Deerhunter, Dog Day Afternoon, The Out of Towners

Every film viewer's taste differs. No, I have never seen 'Scandal in Sorrento', but how I wish I did. Just look at Sophia Loren and how gorgeous she looked!!! The new version of 'The Three Musketeers' with Raquel Welch was not a patch on the 1948 version with the beauteous Lana Turner, Gene Kelly and June Allyson. I heard a lot about 'Logan's Run', but didn't get to see it. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Fearless Vampire killers" with the lovely, Sharon Tate. I love most vampire movies and enjoyed this one too, immensely. "Diamonds are forever" with gorgeous Jill St. John. Wasn't this a James Bond movie that I must have seen. My mind is hazy about it.

This is a list of films from around the world and quite a few I have never heard of. If they were critical successes and not commercial, chances are they would not have been screened in my part of the world. Yes, D'Jango was a hit here, but I was never high on Westerns. Lilith with Jean Seberg and Warren Beatty was a highly emotional movie dealing with the mentally unstable people and depression. It may have been critically acclaimed, but it wasn't a commercial success. Breathless too was a critical success but seen by few people. Bonnie & Clyde was both a critical and box-office success. It was a bonanza of a movie, loved by all. Point Blank with Angie Dickinson was widely watched and appreciated. The good, the bad and the ugly. Very popular, but here again you have to love the Western genre to enjoy this movie. I didn't!

Damn, now I have to go back and rewatch the grifters. Always thought it was underrated.

Vincent Gallo is legent now. Love him❤

Reminds me of the time I was out having a quiet drink with Cary Grant and he told me this little tale: He got a telegram that said 'How old Cary Grant?' so he sent this in reply: 'Old Cary Grant fine, how you?' But then Sophia Loren barged her way in and spoilt the moment....

The Conversation... 😢

That most important thing : love by Zulawski is such an underrated movie no one talks about. This movie with Romy Schneider and Klaus Kinski is one the most beautiful and cinematic i've ever seen.

Making a choice is always excluding. I miss "The Spirit of the Beehive", "Le Fantôme de la Liberté"(but being Spanish, I am perhaps biased), "Dersu Uzala", "Lacombe Lucien"and "The Stratagem of the Spider"(which I find much better than "Last Tango in Paris"). But I appreciate a lot your interest on showing that out of Hollywood, there are many interesting films to discover.

Some inspired choices Stevie as always. Tricky to pin actors to a specific decade as we know.

"Closely watched trains" was a cult movie for mi generation,. Also "Loves of a blonde" and "The daysies". Unhappily, watching them nowadays (at least in Spain) is very difficult. "High and Low" ( in Spain "El infierno del odio"~Hell of Hate) has not the popularity that it deserves...because there are not samuraïs on it. I have been trying to watch "Charulata"for decades Someone can give a hint of where can I buy the DVD or at least watch the movie?

Serpico, dog day, deer hunter

That's not a bad list, not at all, but my favorite 90's film star who completely disapeared after that period always will be... Bridget Fonda. Iron Maze (1991), Single White Female (1992), City Hall (1996), Jackie Brown (1997), Break Up (1998), A Simple Plan (1998)... Bridget Fonda always contributed a great performance to each and every movie she were in.

Nice list - have you seen Killer of Sheep?

Probably a controversial opinion these days but 90s Kevin Spacey was Glengarry Glen Ross, Swimming with Sharks, The Usual Suspects, Seven, L.A. Confidential, A Bug's Life, American Beauty...

I remember silent running on tv back in the early 80's. One of my all time favourites when griwing up and remember crying(i was about 10) near the end-if my memory is correct-and probably wrong- it was when 1 of the robots 'died'. Good list 👍

Your choice seems to be international. Some actors I've not even heard of. From your list, my faves are Sophia Loren, Marlon Brando, Anthony Quinn, Brigitte Bardot, Cary Grant and Simone Signoret. Sorry, but I just couldn't stand the sight of Gloria Grahame. There was something about her personality that was so cheap and disgusting. I enjoy people with class, not gutter-snipes!

I was surprised that you didn’t include the Godfather or the Exorcist 😖😖

I don’t agree with this List.
