This begins our series of posts of the top ranked films on the internet by individual nations. I think Italy is my favorite nation for foreign language films, followed by France, Japan, China-Hong Kong-Taiwan, and Russia.
The U.S. easily has the most listed, with 502 in the top 1000, an increase from 482 in 2009.

Only ten in the top 1000, shame on western critics and poll respondents! That's only 1% of the top ranked films, when France has 148, or 14.8%?

Top Ranked Films from Brazil and Mexico
Sunday, September 20, 2009
20 total (10 each), with 14 in the top 1000 (7 each). Ironic, that most Mexican films were directed by Spaniard Luis Buñuel, even one by a Russian, Sergei Eisenstein. [I'm using the IMDB country designations, which are often joint collaberations, just to get the financing].
These two countries had the most films listed in the the western hemisphere, after the U.S. and Canada.
