100
Great List! I have a lot of these on my own personal list. I've wanted to check out Werckmeister Harmonies. I'll try to find a copy of it. The only film here I didn't really like was Up in the Air and I think I need to rewatch it as I've only seen it once. It's great to see the tree of life on the list. One of the greateat films of all time. I haven't seen shame yet either but Hunger was amazing so I'll check it out soon. I did my top 100 a while ago. check it out if you get the chance.
Thanks for the comment! Werckmeister Harmonies and Shame are two films that are very hard to find, but they are both brilliant. As for "Up In The Air" i've notice that it is usually a "you like it or you don't" type of film. I'll be sure to check out your top 100 as well.
So similar to mine that it's scary.
Wow. Just about a third of the ones on here are your list. With that being so, I can definitely determine that you have great taste in film. Thanks for the comment!
Great list! It looks like we have very similar tastes. A lot of these films are on my Top 100 as well as my list of films that almost made my Top 100. I've added a few of these to my watchlist.
Awesome list, man! Agree with so many of them, great choices. I've added the two films from your top 10 that I haven't seen yet, Werckmeister Harmonies and Winter Light.
@SilentJoe Thanks for the comment! I'll definitely be sure to check out your lists as well.
@Aaron Thanks for checking out my list! I strongly recommend Werckmeister and Winter Light, they're both excellent.
@Ethan, I'll try to find a copy of them. They don't exactly seem to be the easiest ones to find.
@Aaron They aren't easy to find at all. The easiest places where you can find them would be (for Winter Light) the criterion collection, and for Werckmeister it would just be any online distributer that you can find. Hopefully you can get your hands on them.
Thanks man, much appreciated.
This list is awesome! A lot of these films would be on my top list also.
Have you watched Satantango or The Turin Horse by Tarr, if you have, what did you think.
Also have you seen any Fassbinder as I think, judging by your taste you would enjoy his films.
I'm not sure where you guys are located but I have Netflix and everything on this list is available on it, these are actually pretty accessible. Movies I consider hard to get are the ones that are not available on dvd at all and I have to find them online somewhere which is the case with alot of the older obscure foreign films.
You have a great list here though and I am loving all of the love you give out to some of my favorite directors as well such as Bergman, P.T. Anderson, Nic Winding Refn, and Kielsowski. You have a lot of more recent films on here though. I'm curious if you are still in the process of still studying older foreign cinema where in my opinion some of the best gems lie. You have Un Chien Andalou but nothing else from Bunuel, have you seen any of his other films? He is also one of my favorite directors.
@Samuel Thanks for checking out my list! I haven't gotten the chance to watch Satantango or The Turin Horse, mainly because I have to be in a certain mindset to watch a Tarr film. Also I haven't seen any Fassbinder but i'll definitely check him out. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Robert I'm currently in the midst of looking into older foreign films. More recently I jumped headfirst into filmmakers like Bergman and have loved everything I've seen so far. Of course I still have a lot of gems left to find. As for Bunuel I have only seen Un Chien Andalou although I would love to see more of his work. What would you recommend that I start out with? Thanks for commenting.
I know exactly where you are coming from Ethan. I have become a hardcore cinephile since probably around 2006-07. So its only been a few years since I have really been studying film and appreciating it as a art form. There are still many master directors whom I have not gotten to yet, there is just only so many movies one can watch at a time with every day life intervening. lol. I myself just recently for the first time finally got around to watching Yasujirô Ozu and Michealangelo Antonioni's films. And I still have yet to watch a single Godard although I have heard many's reactions to him seem varied but all of the critics praise his work and consider him one of the grandmasters.
As for Bunuel, pretty much anything goes he is like Bergman where he really has never made a bad film. He is a surrealist as I'm sure you already know, my two personal favorites of his are The Exterminating Angel and Simon In The Desert. Take a look at my lists for any suggestions and you may come across some films you have not heard of. I have a few different lists separated from genre and a top 250. Here is the link

Samuel is right, Fassbinder is also another amazing director you should check out. And since you are a big Bergman fan as I, Fassbinder has made one film that is completely different from his usual style in a bleak black and white whose story is dark and ominous as any of Bergmans in VERONIKA VOSS. It feels so much like a Bergman film, it's unreal. But the rest of Fassbinder's works is great too, notables can be FOX AND HIS FRIENDS, IN A YEAR WITH 13 MOONS, and his very long mini series BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ.
I'm one of the few who cannot get into Tarr. I thought Damnation was his best and my favorite, it was his most poetic. Werkmiester Harmonies was just ok for me, it had its moments. And then I got to his highly lauded and over long Satantango and I hated that film, I could not finish it. I am still interested in seeing The Turin Horse whenever that is released.
