Notable Foreign Films
The Arts & Faith's Top 100 Films (previously known as the 100 most spiritually significant films) list has been selected by the Arts & Faith members, which is dedicated to the combination of art and faith.
2020 update added a new restriction of one film per director, but other films that would have made the list without that restriction can be seen in the subtitle for each main entry in the source.

Personally best of German Movies
Biographical Film. A film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or people. Such films show the life of a historical person and the central character’s real name is used. They differ from films "based on a true story" or “historical films” in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a person’s life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.
