I recently watched a film called 'Enter the void' and it was one of those films that when it ends you kind of sit there for a while thinking about it. I liked the fact that it was a very different film in the way it is shot from a certain viewpoint. Won't say too much about it but i think its the kind of film the original poster would like.

Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
Blood Diamond
Life is Beautiful

Mystic River
Million Dollar Baby

The downfall - A german film (so no American omg the USA is awesome angle on it) about the end of Hitlers life.

The entire film is in German with English subtitles but it is definately thought provoking.

The Killing Fields.

Old - yes. But the final scene still gives me goosebumps when I watch it.

And Empire of the Sun.
