I can't believe that these haven't been mentioned more than once...
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Amazing soundtrack. Ridiculously quotable: "Oh George, not the livestock!", "I'll only be 82!".

Ichi the Killer. Just brilliantly gory and totally cool.

Cypher. Low budget but fantastic sci-fi with a neat little twist.

Last Life in the Universe. Beautifully shot but very slow moving. Except the last 20 minutes, which will have your heart in your mouth.

Goodbye Lenin! Doncha just miss communism? Oustalgia all round.

Kes - Just for the moment when the dopey little kid suddenly lights up when telling his class about how he trained his kestrel. Probably best not to watch the end and just make up your own.

A Knight's Tale. I'm such a sucker for this daft but fun little film, especially when they sing "He's blonde, he's pissed, he'll see you in the list..."
