Yes, there are American(Hollywood) films on that list, but I have a hard time with all the hype(advertising $) surrounding new releases. I find myself ignoring all first run movies as a result to see if they can first stand up to the test of time.

Yes, there is too much out there to hope to see in a lifetime, but the twists and turns in this pursuit yield many many surprises,
learnings, and the occasional awakening.

However my interest in foreign(non-Hollywood) films is a return, not a start. I did pursue foreign language films in the late 1960's and early 1970's as a counter to the formula-based Hollywood films of the time. I then moved on to other life priorities

I still remember a film I saw back then that I have heard nothing of since: "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denovich"(a day in the life of a particular gulag prisoner)
