Le Pacte des loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf)
Who am I to resist the charms of a film that combines historical French period piece, supernatural horror and kung-fu kick ass-ery? Perhaps I could, were it not all based around one of the most enduring case studies in the history of cryptozoology. In other words, you had me at "loup garou."
The plot doesn't always make perfect sense, but it's awesome in all the right ways, stylish and satisfying.

The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) (1954,  Unrated)
The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai)
The greatest film ever made. Period.

Even clocking in at just under 4 hours, it is perfectly paced. There isn't a single minute that feels extraneous. The cinematography adds an epic beauty and even the sound is mixed in a way to create tension and drama.
The acting is equal parts subdued and explosive. Toshiro Mifune is a force of nature at his best here, turning on a dime from harmless clown to sulking wannabe to merciless warrior.
Humor and sadness. Victory and defeat. War and peace. Life and death. "The Seven Samurai" embodies it all, unsurpassed as the highest achievement in film history.
