Amores Perros was good
A Tale of Two Sisters\
City of God
Also, check out my av, A Snake of June, it's good, pretty kinky, but good.

personally I wasn't really impressed with OldBoy, maybe I was expecting too much from the hype. Same with the Host, it was entertaining, but I was expecting great things.

I concur with Amelie and everything else by Jeunet:

A Very Long Engagement - Audrey Tautou unravels a mystery in post-war France trying to locate her MIA love.

Delicatessen - An unemployed circus clown moves to a bizarre apartment building run by a butcher during a meat shortage.

City of Lost Children - A young girl enlists a circus strong-man to track down her brother, who is kidnapped by a mad scientist.

Some other good stuff:

Hero - Jet Li arrives at an Emperor's doorstep claiming to have killed the empire's three most notorious outlaws.

Underground - A sprawling serio-comic fairy tale set in Yugoslavia during and after WW2.

Shaolin Soccer - Stephen Chow's comic actioner about washed-up shaolin monks using their powers to play soccer.

Kung Fu Hustle - Stephen Chow's follow-up, about a slum full of martial artists fighting gangsters.

Musa (aka The Warrior) - Korean action-drama about Korean soldiers trying to rescue a Chinese princess from Mongols.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Lady Vegeance - Chan-wook Park's brutal "Vengeance Trilogy," prominently examining the futility and circular nature of vengeance.

Pusher 1, 2, & 3 - A crime drama trilogy set in Copenhagen.

Downfall - A detailed and harrowing look at final few days of the Nazi party.

Twilight Samurai and The Hidden Blade - Two very similar dramas about humble samurai who are forced into deadly clan politics.

13 Tzameti - A penniless young handiman steals a letter from a deceased customer and unwittingly embroils himself in a deadly game.

Versus - Low budget action extravaganza featuring zombies, gunplay, swordfights, and kung fu.

Lagaan - An enjoyable Bollywood film about Indian peasants who must play cricket against English soldiers to avoid a crippling tax.

Master of the Flying Guillotine - Classic chop-socky about a blind old imperial assassin hunting for the one-armed boxer who killed his disciples.

English Language:

Romper Stomper - Russell Crowe's debut, about the disintegration of a skinhead gang in Australia.

Sexy Beast - A happily retired bank cracker is visited by his psychopathic former colleague, who is bent on forcing him back for one last job.

Chopper - Eric Bana's debut as real-life underworld lunatic "Chopper" Read.

I only read through the 1st page so perhaps it's been said...

REC, spanish horror movie. I saw it the other night and it beats every single horror flick I've seen for years. Had to take a breather before hitting the sack.

[CloverfieldRULZ]

I didn't bother to read all the way through but here are some suggestions:

Y tu mama tambien, by Alfonso Cuaron as posted a couple responses above
Chung King Express, by Wong Kar Wai
In the Mood for Love, also by Wong Kar Wai
Vivre Sa Vie, by Jean-Luc Godard
Breathless, by Jean-Luc Godard
Tampopo, by Juzo Itami
Winter Light, by Ingmar Bergman

[nontheanarch]

Irreversible was pretty fucked up, really good though.

[Oldboy]

Amores Perros is good too



Talk to Her and Volver are quality spanish language films as well

[Twincest1]

Mediterraneo (1991).

hands down one of the best foreign flicks ever.

Diva is another near perfect flick.
