Good choice, that is indeed a superb movie and definitely deserves more love and acclaim, it was recommended to me by someone on here but I don't know many in real life who have seen it.

[Sin Agog]

Ah, nice.  It's so gorgeous to look at it.  That soundtrack by Japan's former 'male longest hair' competition winner always ratchets up the emotion.  Plus Terayama mining his own life for dark themes and rebellious energy.  But you know what, maybe I'm just a sucker for a good colour filter?  Glad you're into it so much, too.  There isn't really much else like it.  I once spoke to a dude who went to see Shuji Terayama's traveling theatre troupe put on a play in the '70s and he said the experience never ever left him.

many mentioned + Penda's Fen, Edvard Munch, Murder on the Orient Express.

Oh fuck, Edvard Munch and Celine would also be up there.  It's so much better a year than 1978.

[MortSahlFan]

I haven't included documentaries, but Place de la Republique is one of my favorite documentaries

[Ambient Sheep]

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three and Dark Star were my first two thoughts, in that order.

I see Bad Ambassador beat me to it, though. :-)

Lots of other good ones here as well.
