Outrage as Roadhouse not included in top 100 foreign language films

There was dismay and outrage as a new list of the top 100 foreign language films didn’t feature 1989 Patrick Swayze classic Roadhouse.

The list was created from a poll of major critics by BBC Culture.

The top spot was filled by Seven Samurai, Kurosawa’s four-week long classic about some men duffing up some other men.

“Well, frankly, I think its a bloody outrage,” said Paddy Elliot, an unemployed cat podiatrist from Carshalton.

“I love Roadhouse. I love Roadhouse so much I’ve seen it 398 times. I called my youngest daughter Roadhouse.

“And these people are saying it doesn’t even make their top one hundred?”

It was explained to Mr Elliot that Roadhouse wasn’t a foreign language film.

“Bloody is somewhere,” he shouted.

“I mean, are you saying that if I were to take my special edition bluray over to Azerbaijan and pop it on, they wouldn’t want the subtitles on? Course they bloody would.”

Mr Elliott claimed that it was critical snobbery that kept Roadhouse from rather than language.

“Bloody right it is, they had that Passion of Joan of Arc on the list and that’s a silent film. Roadhouse is a foreign language film in half the world, Passion of Joan of Arc isn’t a foreign language film anywhere.”

However, rather than accept the poll results, Mr Elliott plan to release his own top 100 foreign language films.

“Bloody am and all, and each position from number one to number hundred will each be Roadhouse.

“And I bet more people will have watched my list than theirs.”
