"The change of political systems, oppressors and ideals throughout Hungarian history, especially the 20th century, has made a particular mark on the collective soul and behavior of Hungarian people. This resulted in a special mood, a bittersweet harmony that can be seen in many works of Hungarian literature, music, and of course, movies.
This list tries to collect 15 outstanding Hungarian movies, which could serve as the greatest ones as well. It's not an easy task to objectively classify the best films of an entire nation, but the main intention of this article will hopefully be fulfilled: to introduce some very fine movies to the audience outside Hungary".
Honorable mentions are films 1 through 10. The next (11-25) are the best films in reverse order.
