Best Modern European Films

One of the ways to get familiar with European movies is to go by genre, by director, or by actors. I feel the best way to go is by country. Every country in Europe has its own special contribution to European Cinema. Indeed, the film industries of Europe are as different as the countries are. Most films definitely have a vibe around them that can give away what the country of origin is. Of course, also the different languages play a significant role, but there is also something else. Something you cannot quite figure out. But you can just feel it: this is a Danish Movie, or this is a Spanish movie.

I will not waste your time by describing my associations with the different countries. It is better if you can find out what you feel. And as soon as you find the feeling that feels good, you know what country you should look into in more detail.

I think there is no better way to do this than by presenting you the very best movies per country.

Europeanmovies.org has given top 10's of their favorite European Films per country. Also the best TV-Series for that matter.

I have taken the very best of each top 10 per country, and put them together in what i believe are the most interesting film countries of Europe.

Let me start off with my favorite countries and move my way down.
