My Bottom 10 of Foreign Language Films

by khawk858 | created - 05 Oct 2011 | updated - 12 Jul 2016 | Public

Really, it is my Bottom 11 because there was a tie. It was difficult doing such a list of foreign language films because I had to reach a 4-rating to get the bottom 10 and there are none rated below a 2. Compare those numbers against my 25 1-rated English language (the standard the Academy uses to determine if foreign language film) films. I note I have rated over 3000 movies so far. As an aside, I proudly note my sufficient discrimination in viewing choices, so I only have 0.81% (25) ones versus 111 tens, 3.3%.
