There are 3 that came out in the last 5 years or so that I really love:
1.The Secret In Their Eyes. An Argentinean crime thriller with a great twist ending. The soccer stadium scene is one of the most amazingly-shot scenes ever.
2.The Lives of Others, A German film set in the Stasi-controlled era in East Germany, with a brilliant performance by Ulrich Muhe, who died shortly after filming.
3. Let The Right One In. Normally I don't like vampire movies, but this Swedish one is more about adolescent alienation and longing for affection. The American remake was not bad but lacked this one's heart.
Just love #2. It's in rotation on Hollywood Suite right now. The lead actor Sebastian Koch was in another one I saw on TVO. 'The Black Book'. WW2 setting. The lead actress Carice van Houten was hot; lots of nudity, sex, but the story was really great. She's is now in Game of Thrones I believe.
#3 is awesome. The American version is good too but not as good as the original. The actress in the US version Chloe Moretz is going to be a star.
Also, after I saw this thread I watched Cani Arriabiati on Youtube. Read up on the director, etc. Mario Bava. Will try and see some more of his stuff. Like his story.
Great film. Fuck I love the internet.
