One more mention for Dark, absolutely the best thing on Netflix IMO.
Others:
- Neuvas Rienas (9 queens) - an excellent Argentinian heist/scam film with quite a cool look. Like a mix of Ocean's Eleven (plotwise) and the Bourne films (visually).
- Intacto - interesting Spanish movie about people who are able to steal others' luck. I could imagine Christopher Nolan doing an English language remake.
- Le Havre - fun French film about an old man helping shelter a child who is in the country illegally. Very funny.
- Akira - obviously
- Ringu - original Japanese version. Terrifying.
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - quite an obvious choice, but it absolutely blew me away when it came out.
- The Killing - Danish TV show. Not seen the American remake, but the original is amazing
- Oldboy - Korean movie, as above, remade, but I've only seen this. I suspect this one is better!
- Godzilla Minus One - monsters! And the suffering of post WW2 Japan! Odd mix, but it works!
- 8 Femmes - very funny French murder mystery. Recently remade (pretty well) in Italian as 7 Women and a Murder.
- Duet for Cannibals - very strange Swedish film I saw recently about two couples and some strange living/working arrangements.
- Rashomon - classic Japanese movie, where we see the same event from 3 different perspectives
- Taxi - brilliant French heist/crime/driving movie, with some superb car chases
So many more, but this list is getting too long!
A tanú (The Witness) - Hungarian comedy of communism
Hana-bi by Takeshi Kitano
Pretty intense but I thought the Seediq Bale films were really good.
Classic French thriller.
"Wages Of Fear." Four men, two trucks, a desert, and five tons of unstable dynamite. They need to get the explosives to a uncontrolled oil well fire. They've got nothign to lose...
Cure (1997) is an absolutely mesmerizing film
The Wave (about a landslide in a fjord) is one of my favorite disaster movies.
The Quake (the sequel) is almost as good.
I really liked Vidocq, and the Brotherhood of the wolf.
When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:
- Joulutarina (Finnish)
- Listy do M (Polish)
