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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
