Of course, no list is going to be perfect. Like virtually every other list of this sort, the BBC’s voters overlooked Ozu’s true masterpiece, An Autumn Afternoon (1962), which was also his last film. Despite the occasional inclusion of such horror-adjacent titles as Pan’s Labyrinth (2006),  the lack of any outright horror is also distressing, as so much of the genre’s best output comes from abroad, such as 2008’s Let the Right One In (2008), High Tension (2003), Martyrs (2008) and Kwaidan (1964). Also, due to the quirk of looking on the language rather than the country of origin, English-dubbed features made in Italy, like the seminal The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) and the spine-tingling Deep Red (1975) were necessarily concluded.īut, on the whole, the list is a remarkable achievement in film criticism. It acknowledges far-flung and frequently overlooked features, deftly balances between the competing styles of disparate nations and expresses a broad range of films from throughout the medium’s storied history. They remarkably acknowledged a full four Kurosawa features (although I would have made room for even more) and even have my absolute favorite movie in the number one slot: the action-packed epic Seven Samurai (1954). No matter the misgivings some may hold toward this newly sacrosanct canon of world film, it is a good a place as any (and a far better pace than most) to start for budding cinephiles looking for their next cinematic fix.ġ00. The 2018 BBC covers the 100 best foreign-language (ie, non-English language) movies. The list stretches as far back as 1925’s Battleship Potempkin all the way to 2012’s Best Picture nominee Amour. It includes entrants from Italy ( Bicycle Thieves, 1948), France ( The Rules of the Game, 1939), Sweden ( Persona, 1966), Hong Kong ( In the Mood for Love, 2000), India ( Pather Pachali, 1955) and Japan ( Tokyo Story, 1954). Mainstream Hollywood directors like the ineffable Guillermo del Toro ( Pan’s Labyrinth, 2006) show up alongside golden oldies like Fritz Lang ( Metropolis, 1927) and obscurities like Mikio Naruse ( Floating Clouds, 1955). They even included African masterpiece Touki Bouki (1973), a Senegalese riff on Jean-Luc Goddard’s classic Breathless (1960), which is a film, filmmaker and type of regional cinema that is criminally overlooked by the film-obsessed culture at large. Over the past few years, the BBC’s annual list of ‘best movies’ has become one of the most highly-anticipated events of the moviegoing world. Filling the void left by the apparent absence of AFI ‘best American movies’ list updates, they started out with a list of the best Hollywood-produced movies of all time (crowning perennial favorite Citizen Kane once more as the best ever made). They followed this up a year later with a list of 100 movies from the 21 st century, then against with a list of the 100 best comedies a year further out. And for their latest list, they’ve taken on no less than the entire rest of the world.
