Nice list, I'm still working on my World Cinema. When I was an asst manager at a video store I built the best foreign language film selection in the area, but it was still way too small and films not rented to often, I'm not in the greatest area for thinkers.

Doinel, at the very least, Week-End will probably make the list. I am trying to limit this list to films that are singular moments in film history, like Week-End, or La Dolce Vita; for example, or just examples of cinematic perfection such as Children of Paradise or Red Beard. I am apt to remove a film or two from this list, and over the course of the year, it will probably top out around 40-50 movies.
