Experiment Awards: Foreign – Best of the 2000s
Instead of reviewing my favorite films of the past decade (2000-09) for The LAMB’s Foreign Chops: Best of the 2000s, I wanted to list them all.

I took a look at my IMDb whack history to see how many actual new-to-me films I had caught this past 2013, and made up a list of thirty films I loved seeing for the first time.
YES! I did it. It’s been sitting on my To Do List for over two years, but I finally did it.
I gotta admit, I had to work extra hard to make the categories fit with the films this year.
In Bombay Talkies, four filmmakers got together to tell their short stories of Indian cinema and how it has impacted the lives of people.
It’s been… maybe three months since I started out with Jenna’s Beginner’s Guide to Indian Cinema. What’s the journey been like?
A group of friends grow up, grow apart, and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani hints at the coming of age aspects of a film on friendship more than a run of the mill rom-com.
Well, Indian stories live up to the titles of their films, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…, which apparently translates to ‘sometimes happiness, sometimes sad’ really contains moments of pure elation followed by moments to crush your heart.
This overly-long melodramatic rom-com is the best fluff I’ve watched in a very long time, as we follow a man looking to reconnect with his ex-best-friend.
