Here I will list all the foreign language films I have seen, good, bad, and ugly. By foreign language I mean any film where the main language NOT English. I have also included movies that are majority English but deal with particular themes, like different ethnicities, religions, languages. I will not list any Indian-language films here (Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu etc) because I have a separate list for that!
World cinema is amazing because they have so much flavour and beauty that a lot of English films cannot create. I definitely recommend some, if not all of these films to you! You may see a pattern in the films I choose to watch. Like with my Indian film list, I've first listed films I remember and then later on, they are in sequential watch order.

Beautifully told and Hiam Abbass is a fantastic actress (I have seen her in quite a few films now!). -

Mostly in English but included due to the themes explored (immigration, asylum, love between Australian woman and Iranian man). -

I must admit, I was disappointed in this film. I bought it for Hiam Abbass, but I've only watched it once. This is one of those cases where buying a DVD on a whim can burn you!! But hey, at least I supported the film I guess... :) -

This film probably has more English in it, but I included it because of its themes as well. Another amazing film! -

Eye candy 8D Film was a little slow, but I liked the realism of the setting, themes and characters. -

This is an Australian film but I've included it because it has a significant portion spoken in Aboriginal languages. -

I LOVED this film, it was poignant and really made you think about both sides of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. Both sides were evenly represented, which is quite difficult to do. -

Loved this film, albeit the sadness. There is a particular scene which makes my heart melt, the actors had such chemistry!
