With this list I hope to shine a light on lesser-known/under-viewed films I feel deserve a little more attention - All films on this list have received less than 10,000 votes.

Also, one film I had to remove because it's labeled "Adult": Yoshiwara enjô (1987) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204750/)

Austria is a small country and films coming from here (except some rare exceptions) are not very famous. But Austria has some directors which are able to win in Cannes, some even won Oscars, there are some great documentary movie makers and this country is also well known for its avantgarde films. Thinking about it… quite astonishing for such a tiny country. What is also not so well known is that Austria had a huge impact on Hollywood. Some important directors flew from the Nazis, others left because cheap productions from the USA destroyed huge parts of the film industry of Europe and they wanted to work under better conditions.

Here is a list of chosen films of such persons, which have strong connections to Austria. Most of them would say they are Americans and i have no intention to say something else, just that they are coming from here and that Austria was important in their lives. Just… that some of those people spent important youth years in this country in the middle of Europe.

Its a selected list of films of directors and actors… and even one filmmusic composer got mentioned.

Like in all countries, there are a lot of films which are hard to understand if you dont know the country and the language well. All this Austrian films for Austrians are listed at the end. Most of them are comedies and Austrians humor is very much based on the speach, so its sometimes impossible to understand the jokes if you are not fluently in Austrian german. But if you are really interested in Austrian films, you can give it a try.

All films are listed by the imdb-ratings, from best to worst.
