'Abre Los Ojos' - the original movie on which Vanilla Sky was made. The original is bloody good. Vanilla Sky was just hollywood churning out rubbish versions of good foreign films.

'The Ring' - The Japanese... not the hollywood version with Naomi Watts.

'Photographing Fairies' - Brit art film... very very good...

'Amelie' - strange... funny and good....

'The Virgin Suicides' - Hollywood film... eerie.. thought-provoking... brilliant...

I saw another Spanish and French film which I loved... just can't remember the darn names!

Bit controversial but nevertheless entertaining.

Irreversible (for excessive violence)
Y tu mamá también (for sexual content)

I saw Irreversible a couple of months ago. Its French. I couldn't get over the scene where this guy busts someone’s head up with a fire extinguisher. That particular scene made waves in the media. I actually believed it was the real deal until I saw the making of the movie.

Top three movies that you should immediately watch are Indochine, Cinema Paradiso, and Amores perros.

If you liked Donnie Barko then you might also like Devil's Backbone.
