top 250 movies out of the united states

Hi I'm from İstanbul - Turkey,
I chose the best 250 film for me is not the construction of the united states. This selection is a demanding job and was very difficult to prepare because the 250 is a great figure, you can select from hundreds of foreign films at 250 and sort through these films so I took my time ..
