Pan's Labyrinth is a masterpiece

The Orphanage - almost unbelievably sad.

The Battle of Algiers.

La Otra Conquista is in Spanish and Nahuatl and is the film that that Mel Gibson piece of shit aspired to be but fell a million miles short of being. It's pretty much one of my favourite films of all time.

I just saw the Dutch WW2 film "Black Book" directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop) on the Sundance Channel in Dutch with English subtitles. It was pretty good.

Or "Zwartboek" as we call it here.

I would say "Lola Rennt". It has been translated as "Run Lola Run" but I find it more powerful in German.

I really like "De stilte rond Christine M.", a Dutch movie from Marleen Gorris who also made "Gebroken spiegels" which is another great movie.

Run Lola Run is a good one. The French film Nikita is great too, although the American remake is shite.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
