While speaking in English haltingly or with an accent or not at all, foreign language films address us all too fluently in another tongue... the tongue of cinema.

I don't follow Twitter, Film or otherwise, but does anyone ever go all Paul Westerberg with this and submit a ballot that's all Police Academy movies and then one by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, or something like that?
