2010: Top 10 World Cinema DVDs of the year
 Amelie Unlike Hollywood, foreign language cinema hardly gets theatrical releases in India. Here we track the best of foreign language DVD releases...'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain' (The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain) known to the world as 'Amelie' tells the story of a waitress who decides to help strangers to find happiness. It plays like a fairy tale for grown-ups with an enchanting performance by Audrey Tautou. Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film was hugely popular with both critics and audience, and probably the best of all modern escapist cinemas.

 The Battleship Potemkin A dramatised account of the mutiny that took place in Russian battleship Potemkin where the crew rebelled against their officers of the Tsarist regime in 1905, 'The Battleship Potemkin' is the supreme work of Russian master Sergei Eisenstein. Since its release, countless debates analysing its structure and symbolism has elevated the film as one of the greatest film of all time and is a powerful example of propaganda film. A must experience for every human on earth.

 Children of Heaven When it comes to Iranian cinema, Majid Majidi's 'Children of Heaven' has almost become the standard answer to what we call minimalist cinema. This heart-warming film tells the story of nine year old boy Ali, who loses his sister Zahra's newly repaired shoes. Nominated for Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film among other awards, this universally praised film is the ideal choice for somebody to get an introduction to world cinema.

 The Triumph of The Will Adolf Hitler has always been a hotly debated character of human history, so a film with real footages of the Nazi boss is bound to grab eyeballs. Highly influential for its groundbreaking photographic techniques involving cranes, tracking rails, and many cameras working at the same time, this film shows the majesty and might of the notorious leader. It also cemented filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl's place as the greatest woman filmmaker in the world since the origin of motion pictures.

 8 ½ One director’s artistic confusion, his project witnessing a disintegration along with his life, '8 ½' makes a director's block a splendid epic of cinema. Marcello Mastroianni playing the role film director Guido Anselmi is like the cinematic biopic of Federico Fellini (Italy's most celebrated director) himself. Widely appreciated and highly influential as great piece of art, this film is the pinnacle of personal expression in cinema.
