It is also interesting to look at the Oscar submissions for best foreign film over the years.
Movies can become elusive quickly. A friend of mine mentioned that he sometimes looked for indie features that he had seen at Chicago theaters as recently as the 1990s and would frequently come up empty-handed - either they were never issued in any home media format, or had such brief and limited availability that way, that good luck finding them. Festival films from even just five years ago can be maddeningly difficult to track down.
