Yesterday’s Top Ten (Foreign Femme Fatales of 2007) saw a fine selection of international thesps that dominated the silver screen in some form or another, today's 10 focuses on those who had their talents featured in mostly American independent films.

This year, director Juan Antonio Bayona and screenwriter Sergio G. Sanchez are Spain's most talked about filmmakers. Their feature film debut, The Orphanage, has became in less than three months, the highest grossing movie in the history of Spanish cinema, let alone in the history of Spaniard horror film movies, which was almost nonexistent until a Alejandro Amenábar started the trend with thesis film almost a decade ago.

Continuing with our Top Ten lists till the year’s end, we have decided to split what was once called our yearly “Indie Queens and Foreign Femme Fatales” top 10 list (see our 2006 selections here) into two and thus doubling our appreciation and pleasure. Today you’ll be getting our Top 10 Foreign Femme Fatale list, and tomorrow getting a Top Ten list for our favorite indie actresses of the year.

They came out in theaters, made very little money or didn't make a mark at all: they are a slew of independent projects that could have found a different fate. Our Top 10 of overlooked, underrated, under appreciated U.S Independent Films of 2007 is a list of deserving films that didn’t get the attention it deserved. Call it bad marketing, call it bad timing, or simply not being able to connect with the larger audience the following top ten is a list of films to reconsider or to consider before they erase themselves from our collective movie-going psyche.
