Odd numbers are American films and the next even number is the corresponding recommendation

hopefully this makes sense and clarifies how I classify certain films on here. I really appreciate being able to have these conversations here and again want to say thank you to everyone thatâs contributed to this list :-)
ALSO I love how collaborative this list is and am trying to get on top of suggestions so please continue to suggest film pairings (especially any African, Middle Eastern or South American cinema!) I am going to try to add a little description to entries so please include that with future suggestions thank you!! đđ
