I see no one has mentioned City of God. Try Life is Beautiful as well if you get time.
 
I'll mention Raajneeti as well - I liked it but it got absolutely panned I think. It's pretty long mind, only film I've seen at the cinema that had a break in the middle.
 
Looking through my DVD collection here's a few more:

Das Boot
36
Amores Perres

And the following if you like martial arts films plus a random John Woo film:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Fearless
Ong Bak
Hero
House Of Flying Daggers
Drunken Master
Project A
A Better Tomorrow
Iron Monkey
Mongol
 
Keep them rolling through if there are anymore. Going through the current ones have seen a few which i totally forgot about such as ong bak, crouching tiger hidden dragon, spirited away, princess monoke apocalypto and kite runner have got suryiothai but cant watch it unless i get my other dvd player because of buying it in thailand...

Theres a movie that someone mentioned to me a long time ago but i cant remember what its called, just that its japanese and there was a scene where tarantino was in awe wishing he had done it himself anyone know what its called? sorry for the vague description.. i think its a horror
