It has come to my attention that I have really been slacking on the foreign films the past few years.
It's so hard to track them down sometimes. So few non-English films are released here in Singapore, the exception being terrible Chinese/HK action and comedy movies around Chinese New Year. Otherwise, apart from a few titles which appear at festivals (which, due to my working hours, I am rarely able to catch) or those which have an exceptionally high profile (such as Oscar or Palm winners) I often have to rely on streaming or library rentals. My foreign language watchlist for the past few years is overflowing with films I may never have a chance to see...
How much did you like Snowpiercer? I have the Blu-Ray but I can't seem to get past the first 20 minutes. Does it get better?
I loved it as a brilliantly-paced thriller. Action movies are really not my thing but this was a very good one indeed. To be fair, it's a bit of a drop from my top three to the rest of my list for this year. But Snowpiercer is one worth sticking with.

(I've amended my list to include Enemy)

Well, you seem to do ok. You have a fair few in your lists that I've never even heard of.

I added Filth to my list here. For some reason Wikipedia is ignoring British films. Bastards.

In no particular order:
From Up on Poppy Hill
56 Up (documentary)
There are still a bunch from this year that I still need to see.

I thought it was great. Can't say I saw a problem with the first 20 mins so maybe it just isn't for you.

All good. Though I haven't seen The Past or The Best Offer. I can't believe I didn't put Enemy in my top ten. Maybe I put it one of my other lists.

The Past is by Asghar Farhadi, the director who gave us A Separation... It's a tense movie...

Haven't seen A Separation yet. I should do. It's prob it's lengthy running time that's holding me back.
Why don't you join in and do your own top tens?

Ok... I just looked it up and it's not actually that long. I must be confusing it with something else.

I'll do so, or recommend some alternatives 👍
