I want to watch a good movie to get into to...

[Zeze]

Quirky:
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Mexican/Spanish:
Pan's Labyrinth
The Orphanage
The Devil's Backbone

Chinese Epic:
Red Cliff
Red Cliff 2

I loved Pan's Labyrinth. Will check out other two. I totally forgot about that Bill Murray one. If it got good reviews, will check it out also.

 

[DominionSeraph]

Ink. Always tops my list.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Kontroll

Kontroll is really hard to describe, but it's really well done. The characters pop, the atmosphere is great and it swings through mood changes.

 

[Soundmanred]

Mortal Kombat

 

[manimal]

pi

 

[CZroe]

Apocalypto
Drive
The Prestige

The Usual Suspects

Pour yourself a finger of scotch, sip gently, and be patient during the exposition. You'll be rewarded.

On a completely different note - High Fidelity is one of the great sleeper movies of all time imo. It involved me from beginning to end.

 

[sdifox]

Millenium Trilogy.
Atonement
Adventure of Baron Munchausen

 

[PingviN]

Into the Wild is an awesome movie, if you haven't seen it you should check it out.

I recommend "Ran" if you haven't seen it by Akira Kurosawa.
It is from the 80s, and IMO it was his last truly great film.

Any reason why you don't want to see older than 80s?
Just asking since films like Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Rashomon, and Red Beard are fvcking awesome masterpieces.


Also, I wholeheartedly agree with Soulcougher.
Jeunet is a friggin amazingly talented director.

Amelie was his best work, and is really a "must see."
In addition to Soulcougher's list, A Very Long Engagement is fantastic. Set right after WWI. Probably his most "serious" film.
(If you want to see his most stylish film, go with MicMacs first.)

You've probably seen this as you like foreign films and focus on Korea, but Tau Guk Gi is very high on my list.

I have seen a good portion of what Awkward recommended and they were quite good. Of the list you hadn't seen, The Chaser was fantastic. The Man from Nowhere was damn awesome too.

Haven't seen these yet, so they're getting added to my watch list too
Peppermint Candy
The Yellow Sea
A Bittersweet Life
Chungking Express
A Moment to Remember

PS .... are you on letterboxd ?

Game of Thrones.

Epic. Watched all 10 episodes in < 3 days.

See? I told you it was worth it.

 

[dbailey]

Slingblade

 

[zinfamous]

Serious Human Drama:
The Lives of Others (can't say enough about how good this is)

Quirky:
Amelie
Life Aquatic
Royal Tennenbaums


Epic:
Troy (directors cut)--can be a bit corny, but epicly awesome.
Kingdom of Heaven (must be the director's cut) fantastically awesome in every way.
(watch both of these on BD--I think DC are the only versions available)

Into the Wild is an awesome movie, if you haven't seen it you should check it out.

Run Lola Run is also a fun, quirky movie that was better than I expected.

 

[Linflas]

Serious Human Drama:
The Lives of Others (can't say enough about how good this is)
