Oldboy (2005,  R)
Oldboy
Favorite movie ever. Great cinematography, enthralling plot, and Oh Dae Su is an amazing character. Also has one of the best fight scenes in history.

Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters) (2003,  R)
Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters)
I've seen this about eight times, and it never gets old. More eerie than scary, it has a very different look and feel than most asian horror films, or even horror films in general.

Amelie (Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001,  R)

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991,  PG-13)

Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997,  R)
Smilla's Sense of Snow
I'm not sure why I love this movie so much, but it's been one of my favorites for years. It has a very interesting "feel" to it, the acting is fantastic, and Smilla is one of my favorite female characters ever.

Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi) (2005,  R)
Three...Extremes (Saam gaang yi)
Box was lovely, but felt somewhat empty.

Dumplings was twisted, but I really enjoyed Bai Ling and I would love to see the feature length version.

Cut was the best of the 3... funny at times, great visuals, and very layered. Pay close attention to the ending of this one, there's more to it than most seem to realize.

These short films aren't meant to be "scary" so if that's what you're expecting, don't bother.

22
Da hong deng long gao gao gua (Raise the Red Lantern) (1991,  PG)
23
No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men
Probably the best movie I've seen all year. Great acting, and the tension is so real that I was wringing my hands through the entire thing. Javier Bardem is officially the scariest man alive. The ending is abrupt, but it made sense and once I'd had a second to absorb everything, I didn't mind the way it ended at all.
24
Reservoir Dogs (1992,  R)
25
Punch-Drunk Love (2002,  R)
Punch-Drunk Love
Adam Sandler should do more quirky films like this... they suit him.

44
Chungking Express (1996,  PG-13)
Chungking Express
Everyone is so charming in this (well, except Blond Wig Woman... seriously, what was so intriguing about her?), and it's definitely the most accessible of Wong Kar Wai's films. I didn't even mind hearing California Dreamin' 80,000 times.
45
Paris Je T'aime (2007,  R)
46

Dalkom, salbeorhan yeonin (My Sweet, Yet Brutal Sweetheart) (My Scary Girl)
Funny. Feels a lot like a typical American romantic (dark) comedy, but the actors make it very fun to watch.

57
Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) (2006,  R)
Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor)
Very cool. This movie doesn't get enough credit for being awesome. Kind of a dark modern fairy tale with Matrix-esque special effects.

The Thing (1982,  R)
60
The Godfather (1972,  R)

Lovely to look at. The story confused me a little at first, but with a little thought it's actually pretty straightforward.
62
The Eye (Gin gwai) (2002,  R)
The Eye (Gin gwai)
Some nice twists... much better than better than I expected, and it's become one of my favorites.
63
Wristcutters - A Love Story (2007,  R)
Wristcutters - A Love Story
Like everyone else has said- it's quirky, funny, charming. It made me happy. I liked the music. I think I have a crush on Patrick Fugit. It reminds me a little of Dead Man and Everything is Illuminated.
64
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966,  Unrated)
