No one makes a thriller/horror movie like the Japanese
Seven Samurai.
Aguirre, Wrath of God.
Spirit of the Beehive.
Lacombe, Lucien.
Downfall.
1.men bites dog.

Loving the use of the original titles. I cannot believe no one has mentioned, 37ø2 le matin. One of the all time great performances, funny, sad and plenty of flesh (which it has become apparent it important to some!).
