The Tin Drum (german) Child growing up in europe between the wars that throws himself down the stairs to stop himself growning up, you see a lot of germany/polish History through a childs eyes, surreal.

Chinatown, Often voted the greatest screenplay ever written

papillon - Steve Macqueen and Dustin Hoffman sentenced to life on a prison island

Cinema paradiso - Biographical film about a man growing up with a love of cinema and how it affects his life. a bit long but still a classic.

Amores Perros - Brazillian film Multistrand Narrative about "life in brazil" along the same lines as "city of god"

Life is Beautiful. - Zany Italian rom-com for the first half, moving concentration camp based comedy in the 2nd.

Some of these are obvious but I hope it's some help.

Check out http://www.250films.net for a handy way to track which films you've seen.

I've seen about half, and I'm steadily adding the rest to my Lovefilm list.

Almost finished Dead Man's Shoes, cracking film. If you've not seen it then you definitely should.

I second Leon and Garden State.

I also assume you've seen Pan's Labyrinth?

Go to framerater and see if you've seen the top 250 films. I've discovered genres I didn't know I'd like.

The Fountainhead (old film based on the book).

I {heart} Huckabees (currently on Film4).

Go watch everything by Jim Jarmusch and Michael Haneke, and cram Krzysztof Kieslowski in there also.

Is that any good? The book is fantastic, but I can't see it translating that well...

Honestly, I haven't seen it but I think it'd be pretty hard to ruin the basics of the book. If you catch it before I do, let me know what you think!
