Recommend me good foreign/independent/lesser-known movies!
I'm getting totally bored of Hollywood stuff, what are your favourite movies that I've likely never seen?

Don't read the whole reviews unless you don't mind being spoiled. I've seen ~75% of the films on that list and most have been superb. My favorite foreign films are The Bicycle Thief and Yojimbo.

Re: Recommend me good foreign/independent/lesser-known movies!
It is really f'ed up, and some people probably would strongly disagree, but "The Dreamers", its a bertolucci film.
Also see "Brazil". You may have seen this already though if you are really into movies. Also see "Leon", in the USA called The Professional. It was phenominal. It has Natalie portman when she is like 12? Jean Reno also. And Gary Oldman. One of my favorite movies, and it is SO GOOD.

I'll second Rififi.
There's a movie called The General with Brendan Gleeson and directed by John Boorman that's about a famous Irish gangster named Martin Cahill that I like.
