We are posting this list just one day before the Oscars are revealed. In the United States, the Oscars are broadcast on ABC stations, such as WTVD-11 in Raleigh, NC, and KTVX-4 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
We originally got this idea from "Film Comment." There is a Dutch connection here as one of the films "Waiter" (pict. top) is from the Netherlands, and another one "Interview," which is not the headline-making film with Seth Rogen and James Franco, but rather a small indy film starring and directed by Steve Buscemi (pict. bottom) that is a remake of a Dutch film made by the late Theo van Gogh who was murdered by a fanatical man of North African heritage in Amsterdam.
We are also using the Japanese flag (pict. center) ironically as the three hour epic docudrama "United Red Army" is actually about a terrorist group made up of far-left college students in Japan during the early 1970s; amazingly enough, they are most known for a terrorist incident in Israel!
Here is our list:
1) Interview. 2007. dir:Steve Buscemi.
2) Kill Your Darlings. 2013. dir:John Krokidas
3) The Impossible. 2012. dir: J.A. Bayana
4) The Past. Iran/France. Aghar Farhadi
5) United Red Army. Japan. 2007. dir: Koji Wakamatsu.
6) Two Days, One Night. France. Belgium/France. 2014 dirs: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
7) Waiter. Netherlands. 2006 dir:Alex van Warmerdam.
8) The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith. Australia. 1978. dir: Fred Schepsi
9) Lacombe, Lucien. France. 1977. dir: Louis Malle
10) The Arrangement. 1969. dir: Elia Kazan w/Faye Dunaway and Kirk Douglas
