What are some good non-US films of any genre that have come out in the past 10 years or so? Any favorites that you think more people should see.

The Clue movie? Oh, this is for the teens.
For the other, obviously Parasite if anyone is out there who hasn't seen it yet.

Rare Exports

I guess it's 14 years old but I'd add it to the "non-US" movies too.

e: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

RRR and Godzilla Minus One were both very popular, but still not popular enough.

Memoria, my pick for best film in general from the last ten years, annoying to track down in the US though because it's not on streaming. You can import the UK bluray (region free) or use Other Means pretty easily though.
Fallen Leaves, very heartwarming Aki Kaurismaki film
Il Buco, very little dialogue, about spelunking in a very deep hole in a small italian town
Days, the Tsai Ming-liang film. No dialogue at all, lots of gay yearning.
Pacificiton, simultaneously very chill but with a very evil vibe to it
The Novelist's Film and On The Beach at Night Alone, and a lot of other Hong Sang-soo films released in that time frame
Transit, the Christian Petzold film, a very interesting adaption of a novel from 1944 that's like half-updated to modern day
Mountains May Depart, story of a couple in China over the course of three time periods
The Assassin, the last Hou Hsiao-hsien and extremely beautiful. Like dreaming about a Wuxia film.
Benediction, Terence Davies' last feature and very heart heartbreaking.
3 Faces, Jafar Panahi film where he and the Iranian actress Behnaz Jafari (playing themselves) go to a small town to search for a girl who sent a concerning message asking them for help.

Oh yeah, how did I miss AOAF and La Chimera? That’s reminded me of Embrace of the Serpent too.

For the kids (scary, non-mystery), I bet they'd be the perfect age for Night of the Hunter. Just young enough to identify with the children, just old enough to realize it's probably the best they'll see all year.

Thinking back to what I really liked around those ages in the 90s, I’ll suggest Jurassic Park and Scream.

Thanks for the teen recs! I think we’ve already watched like 90% of those. Some good, interesting picks I haven’t thought of before, though. Think we might try Raising Arizona tonight since they mostly liked O Brother Where Art Thou?

Outlaws/Roundup series from Korea
Baby Assassins series from Japan
Zaror's work (redeemer, fist of the condor) with Espinoza from Chile
Adkins work out of england/asian (Avengement, Ninja 2, Debt Collector 1/2, Accident Man 1/2, One (more) Shot)

heck just use this ranked list, there's only ~25 american movies out of the 50. replace winter soldier with edge of tomorrow and its a hell of a list . One of my personal favorites on there is Wolf Warrior 2 - the top gun of china where america is comically inept and weak
