I'd especially love suggestions of older movies Perhaps Sorcerer (1977)

@Peter_pbn Added; thank you! I've been on a bit of a Friedkin kick recently but I've never seen Sorcerer. 'Hoping to find it somewhere without paying a rental fee on top of a subscription.

Do you have a minimum number of votes? FYC: Mexican Oscar nominee Roma: Spanish and Mixtec mainly, it also has English, Japanese, French, Norwegian and German.

@Pencho15 Thankyou! I added it, of course. As of now, I have no minimum vote requirements and may not add one. If I do, it'd be really low, like maybe 1,000 or so. I like polls that can also serve as resources so I'd like to include some that not a whole lot of people have seen but are very good films, so I may add a minimum Metascore and/or IMDb score but right now, there's nothing. I do want to have several that aren't English-centered so 'Roma' helps with that. Thanks again.

@rubyfruit76 FYC: And looking for new languages to add to your record. Army of the Darkness seems to be the most popular film where bable is spoken, and also has English, Spanish, German, Polish and French. If you don't want a film from the USA, then Infiesto which is available in Netflix is a Spanish film and spoken in both Spanish and Bable. Habitación en Roma has English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Basque and Arabic. Tomiris is spoken in Kazakh, Russian, Arabic and Persian. Not with new languages but looking at older movies you could add: The Three Caballeros with English, Spanish and Portuguese. Soleil Rouge with English, Spanish and Japanese.

@Pencho15 Wow, Pencho, thank you! I don't have much time at the moment so I'll have to come back to these, which I look forward to. So far, I added 'Tomiris' and 'Soleil Rouge.'

@rubyfruit76 If there is only room for one of these, I'd go with Mandariinid. It has more votes, an Oscar nomination and two languages which haven't been used yet.

@Jessica Thanks, so much, Jess! I added both. And an extra thank you for 'Mandariinid' because I added that to my watchlist (and two of its languages aren't in any other of the movies on these lists of mine). I look forward to seeing it. : )
