I've only seen four and only one you haven't The Wages of Fear. Wage is so engrossing that I forgot I was reading subtitles.
ReplyDeletei hadn't heard of that one but will look for it. it does sound interesting. it looks like it's only available in a criterion edition, but they have sales on those every so often
DeleteThis is very interesting, I've seen all the Indian ones, and the German; and they're all worth being in this list. Which makes me want to watch the others too!
ReplyDeleteyes, i'm a sucker for lists like these where i like the ones i've seen. it always gives me ideas for what i want to watch next.
