Pedro Almodovar films. Can't say I've seen all of them but the ones I have (The Skin I Live In, Broken Embraces, Volver, Bad Education, Talk to Her, All About My Mother, Live Flesh) all rate 7 or higher in IMDB.

If you like something different, daring and don't mind subtitles I recommend his films.

One of my all time faves has to be the fifth element, ultimately thrilling, funny and down right crazy....like me :shifty:

I agree with lots of these but couldn't see the appeal in Morvern Callar. Mike Leigh is a cinematic emperor!

Comic Book Confidential - an absolute must for comic fans of Stan Lee, Robert Crumb and Frank Miller who are among the most famous names interviewed in this fascinating documentary. There is also a wonderful section on MAD magazine which always kept me amused as a child.

For all you Ryan Gossling fans - Lars and the Real Girl is a must. Such an amazing movie and a great performance from him.
