Best of foreign Cinema - Drama, culture and classics

I am taking a break from writing to articulate on certain topics that i will elaborate in lengthy articles. Two topics i currently have in my mind. I will get deep into problem of Indian human resources and its remedies. And obviously about industrial policy and global realignment.
