I hope that British films count.

"Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!", "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown"--two of Almodovar's earliest and finest films, showcasing his trademark exaggerated take on women and relationships. Hilarious!

"The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover"---Peter Greenaway's surreal, touching tale of hedonism

"Wings of Desire" and "Faraway, So Close"--Wim Wenders. Sublime and beautifully filmed.

"Johnny Stecchino" Roberto Begnini co-wrote, directed and stars in this hilarious mobster farce.

"The Hairdresser's Husband"--Patrice Leconte. A bittersweet tale of love and loss.

"Kolya"--Jan Sverak. Somewhat predictable but delightful. Andrej Chalimon gives one of the best child performances I've seen.

"An Angel at My Table"--Jane Campion. Fact-based account of New Zealand author Janet Frame, who suffered through years of psych-ward torment. Beautifully acted by Kerry Fox.

"Strictly Ballroom"--Baz Luhrmann. Highly amusing, poignant and visually stimulating genre film.

"Orlando"--Sally Potter. Tilda Swinton is brilliant in this adaptation of V. Woolf's classic tale of gender and immortality.

"Blue", "White", "Red"--Krzysztof Kieslowski. Intricately constructed. This trilogy should be a thread in itself.

"Cinema Paradiso", "The Starmaker"--James Berardinelli sucks me in every time he puts a story to film. Few directors excite my emotions in such a way.


These are some that stand out in my mind. A delightful thread to read, it has given me some picks for my next rental binge.
