Beeing John Malkovitch
The Big Lebovsky

Run Lola Run

Lola rennt is an AWESOME film! Same is the big lebowski.

Also:

Amelia a montmartre (?)
The Big White (not spectacular, but entertaining none the less - humour very much similar to Fargo/Lebowski)
everything by Charlie Kaufmann

my absolute favourite movie is "luckypeople center international"
not a feature film more a kind of documentation.

Its brilliant "sampling" our whole world in perfect editing and
"men must dance!"

you wont be dissapointed, just hear it loud!
its editing is hypnotizing and you getting into trance while watching.

it will take you further

Seasons 1 and 2.0 of the new Battlestar Galactica, best television/DVD's I've seen in years. Even the wife and her friends got hooked.

Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3 SPECIAL EDITIONS. (I don't think the 4th one is worth renting personally).

David Lynch is a great director, the flicks are dark and different than the average hollywood crap, check out:

Mulholland Drive
Lost Highway
Elephant Man

On the lighter side, I really dig these comedies:

Napoleon Dynamite
Anchorman
Dodgeball
Blazing Saddles
Old School
Wedding Crashers
Coming to America
