Blue was awesome
hard film to watch

Sexy Beast - that's a good one. Ben Kingsley was brilliant. Will check out Nil By Mouth - have not seen it.
British films - I have a soft spot Tilda Swinton but can't think of a film she's been in that would actually make the list (apart from Love Is The Devil)... Thinking of Swinton (and Quentin Crisp as Elizabeth I in Orlando) got me thinking about The Naked Civil Servant - that was a pretty good one.

What about the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns?
I'd add The Seven Samurai and Ran to Rashomon as well.
hmmm...
There's Bullett in the Head and Hard Boiled and a whole lot of other HK gangster films (A Better Tomorrow part 2, etc, etc). For HK kung ** there's a lot of choices as well (e.g. Bride with White Hair), there's also the Jet Li Fist of Legend and other non-magical kung ** movies. Going back in time there's Enter the Dragon. And then there's Jackie Chan / Sammo Hung action-comedy like Supercop or Project A.
For Japanese anime there's a lot as well (Akira, Ghost in the Shell, etc) and all the Miyazaki movies (Nausicaa, etc). There's all the Japanese horror stuff which came out awhile ago as well, which I just haven't gotten around to checking out...
For Bollywood there's movies like Devdas and other great ones.
And I'm no expert in any of these genres, but those are some of the really good and accessable ones I'd have to strongly recommend -- this topic is just so broad that its easier to think of top 5 favorite genres than top 5 favorite movies...
EDIT: kung ** is censored =)

Thanks for the tip. You know what blew me away about Why We Fight? My parents were such Kennedy-lovers. Died in the wool Dems. And here I learn that Eisenhower was the more "enlightened" one. In fact, he was downright radical. Imagine. A radical Republican.annasea:
