i need more recommendations.
Clerks (then go on a Kevin Smith athon)Clerks 2 after you've watched Clerks (surprisingly good for a sequel).
Bravo.
Apologies if these have already been mentioned, on a Sci-Fi trend (Non-Alien!):
Primer - but you will have to watch it more than once, complex time travel plot.
Pitch Black - Vin Diesel ( 😮 ) low budget actioner.
Matador by Pedro Almodóvar
Les Visiteurs which is a quirky French comedy
The Insider. (Gets better the more you watch it).
I really like Collateral. (Not hidden, but I think it is better than it gets credit for).
13 Tzameti. (A French film about a tournament of Russian Roulette).
Pan's Labyrinth. ( Disturbing fantasy).
DId I say My Life as a dog?
That Sinking Feeling - Bill Forsyth
Raining Stones - Ken Loach
Sorry but Clerks 2 is appalling (and I am a huge clerks/Kevin smith fan)
Chasing Amy is his best film after Clerks
Another vote for deli and Amilie, also MicMacs is good, very much in the same vein as Deli, and also by jean Pierre jeunet, with audrey Tautou and a world war 1 theme is 'A very long Engagement'
Trees Lounge (Steve Bushemi is outstanding in this) it's a slow film nothing happens but it has a trailer trash kind of charm
Motorcycle Diaries
The Aviator I always think flew (see what I did there) a bit under the radar
I think these get a bit overlloked just due to their names..
Requiem for a Dream (For the score if nothing else)
Rushmore
Hudsucker Proxy
Le Haine
Deliverance
Clockers
King of New York
Man Bites Dog
10 heads in a duffle bag
The River
Duel
Vanishing Point
Mesrine
Cinema Paradiso
Zorba the Greek
Jean de Floret
Three colours red

No way. Clerks 2 has a surprising poignancy to it. It warrants a second watch. Most people who didn't enjoy number 2 just couldn't get over the fact it wasn't black and white and was polished. It is far from appalling.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Guy Pearce directed by Christopher Nolan in Memento is an astoundingly good film. Told totally in reverse.
+1 for so many previously mentioned but especially City of God. Pan's labyrinth is a bit good too.
Strictly Ballroom.
Not seen Flame and Citron mensioned on here, English subtitles but it's a fantastic film and a tue story
Assembly is pretty good, days of Glory and Winter in Wartime.
Mammoth.... a nice film. really worth watching.
great story line.
cinema paradiso.....bit obscure but very worth a watch.
