Must See Films: Foreign Language, Cult and Documentary

This week's installment of Must See Films are Foreign Language (in other words, not English), Cult and Documentary. It was hard to narrow these categories down, but these are the highlights for me. Remember, the key for inclusion is: HS – Historical Significance, PF – Personal Favorite, AF – Art of Filmmaking.
