Ten Zan: the Ultimate Mission - Z grade Italian and North Korean action film that has Frank Zagarino and Romano Kristoff teaming up to take on a Lithuanian scientist with a dangerous drug that he plans on using to create a German "Ubermensch" and taking over the world. Yeah, this one has a very stupid plot. It also has a lot of explosions and shootings that just seem randomly inserted into areas at times and the film does not have a very coherent narrative structure. A North Korean actress under the pseudonym "Kim Follet" plays the love interest. Overall a very terrible film.

Do not follow any of the advise Sgt. Markoff provides but instead refer to Speedracers post.
To scoff vigorously into someone's face and yell at them that they are a moron for NOT liking what you do, isn't a way to get someone to appreciate something.
"He" is very clearly just joking around and putting on his character persona (Sgt Markoff from Beau Geste).

Yeah, you WOULD think so, wouldn't ya Thomas.
BUT, I've heard the same people they have working as moderators on these boards and who'll drop the hammer on ya whenever you might use "adult language" in your posts, are very often transferred to their scheduling department to work there too!
(...and so considering THAT, I suppose you can now see why those flicks which include "adult language" are regulated to late night hours, huh)
Thank the lord we have such wonderful men to protect all the youngsters here from naughty words and nudity.

You're all naive if you think network censors keep things off-air due to a wish to "protect the children". The censors, and the TCM Programmers, do so because of older busybodies and self-appointed nannies among the viewing audience (often not even viewers: someone just told them such-and-such was seen or heard) who will voice their outrage and call for viewer, and more importantly, sponsor boycotts. They don't care about anyone's kids, only their own wallets. You'd do better to admonish the ninnies at home who get worked up over such things than the censors/programmers looking out for their bottom line,
They should really schedule Funny Games and Salon Kitty in primetime. See how they like that.

From Spring to Summer - Marsha Chuganova is straight from the academy and ready to fight the Japanese. She joins a Russian team that goes behind enemy lines in Manchuria to find out more about Unit 731- the place where the Japanese test biological weapons on prisoners. The rest of her team are killed and it's up to her and the local villagers to stop the Japanese from succeeding and creating a biological weapon that will kill many people. This was a well made war film with a lot of explosions and shooting. If you like the "troop of soldiers sneak behind enemy lines" WWII trope then you will like this one. Recommended.

There is the Moviecollector database list but you would need to go through it and find each silent individually.

Just let them enjoy whatever they want. I am in the same age range as you OP and I do not mind seeing films from any period. Some of the older films are really more of acquired taste and not everyone will enjoy them. Just seek out others who enjoy what you do too and discuss with them. Also I just have to say-

Okay we get it, dude. You enjoy "serious cinema" like us. You don't have to try so hard.

Little Bird of Happiness - Malihe is a deaf child who has seizures as a result of trauma in her childhood. This brings on aggression in her. Her school has lost all hope of her recovering but the new teacher helps her to overcome her problems. This drama from Iran is a bit sappy and crude by western standards but a decent film.

Wuthering Heights (1988) Yoshishige Yoshida, Japan. I could have sworn I posted about this right after La Lectrice but it simply disappeared.
It may have been the "nudity" (or implied nudity in this case). Some of the moderators here are a bit trigger happy when it comes to that stuff.

Laibach: Victory Under the Sun - This Serbian language movie is about the band Laibach from Yugoslavia. It details their origins in the early 1980s and their influence on the "NSK" movement and culture of the country at the time. Included are interviews with band members and also social commentators about how the band uses Nazi, Fascist and Anarchist imagery to provoke a response from the audience and raise questions about why the world is the way it is. It also follows the band as they give performances not only in Yugoslavia but also in both sides of Germany and in London England. In this film, they perform "Life is Life" and also "the NSK anthem" - two of my favorites from them, alongside other songs from their Opus Dei album. The entire thing is up on YouTube and only slightly more than an hour long. I recommend it to anyone who is a very big fan of Laibach like I am. Unfortunately the copy up is kind of poor quality but I did not mind as I enjoyed the content so much. I hope some day it gets cleaned up. Here is the video of them performing the NSK anthem which appears at the very end of the documentary. Overall a very fine film.

Not sure what millenials have to do with it but yeah, it is a dumb idea. I would rather they did without the short film awards or the animation ones if they really had to.

will sympathize with Ganz's interview.
The interview is also itself a parody.

Besides the films already mentioned I liked him in the American Friend as Jonathan. A man tricked into believing he is seriously ill and carrying out a murder. It premiered on TCM only a few months ago.

Overall seems very standard. The premier of Coup de berger is probably the highlight for me.

I saw The Big Blue (1988) some time ago and my recollection is that it is mostly in English.
Yeah, some of the foreign editions include English language films if they were produced or filmed in a foreign country. Never on Sunday and Zorba the Greek are also in the Greek edition of the book and Mamma Mia! is in the Swedish edition too.

Technically, didn't the so-called "First Nations" groups ethnically cleanse other, earlier nations that were forced to migrate further south?
I think you're thinking of the Kennewick Man and Soultrean Hypothesis which are heavily debated topics because many argue that the bone structure of the remains more resembles caucasoid people than native americans.
