While Hollywood reigns queen as the oldest and most well-established place for producing film in the world, sometimes the discerning film viewer starts hankering for something different. A change of pace can be found in foreign films. Made in a different place, with another culture's perspective, foreign films can be a lovely form of entertainment. Thanks to the wonder of the internet, Netflix allows you to watch these foreign perspectives from the coziness of your own home.

5. "The Beauty Inside"

This Korean film depicts a man who wakes up every day in a different body. The film took best new director at the 52nd Grand Bell Awards, and it also won best editing at the 36th Blue Dragon Film Awards.

4. "Buen Dia, Ramon"

This film is in both Spanish and German, as the main character hails from Mexico and relocates to Germany. Ramon tries to find his friend's aunt to live with her, but complications arise. When everything seems lost, though, he finds friends in unlikely places.

3. "Run Boy Run"

A look at a young boy fleeing the Warsaw Ghetto in Nazi Germany will have you on the edge of your seat. Four languages are spoken during the film: German, Polish, Yiddish, and Russian. Thank goodness for subtitles!
