Art/Foreign

This is the category to peruse if you are the purist who prefers independently produced, serious movies which may contain foreign language and remote locations to take your imagination off to a far away land. Movies like Slumdog Millionaire, The Damned United, or Chocolat may stir your inner romantic soul. Documentaries abound in this genre and can be educational as well as entertaining. Films like Che, 8 ½, and Pride and Prejudice may be considered educational entertainment at its very best.
