5 Best Foreign Language Movies on Netflix
8Tracks

While Hollywood reigns queen as the oldest and most well-established place for producing film in the world, sometimes the discerning film viewer starts hankering for something different. A change of pace can be found in foreign films. Made in a different place, with another culture's perspective, foreign films can be a lovely form of entertainment. Thanks to the wonder of the internet, Netflix allows you to watch these foreign perspectives from the coziness of your own home.

5. "The Beauty Inside"

This Korean film depicts a man who wakes up every day in a different body. The film took best new director at the 52nd Grand Bell Awards, and it also won best editing at the 36th Blue Dragon Film Awards.

4. "Buen Dia, Ramon"

This film is in both Spanish and German, as the main character hails from Mexico and relocates to Germany. Ramon tries to find his friend's aunt to live with her, but complications arise. When everything seems lost, though, he finds friends in unlikely places.

3. "Run Boy Run"

A look at a young boy fleeing the Warsaw Ghetto in Nazi Germany will have you on the edge of your seat. Four languages are spoken during the film: German, Polish, Yiddish, and Russian. Thank goodness for subtitles!

2. "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night"

Using grayscale to amp up the noir feel, "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" is an atmospheric vampire movie that allows the plot to breathe. The actors speak Persian, but only sparsely and when necessary.

1. "Amelie"

If you haven't seen this whimsical and charming 2001 French film, drop everything and pull it up on Netflix right now. The film follows Amelie, a pretty young woman who likes to do good in the world. It's heartwarming, and an excellent way to make yourself feel better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
