"Must See" Films

[El Gordo]

I agree that “Capote” is a very good film, a little bit too dark for me and a pity that it only rules all about “In Cold Blood”, forgetting other nice aspects of Capote work like “Breakfast With Diamonds” … But,it is a “compulsory to see” film anyway.
Regarding Spanish recommendations, we have another very good director, Almodovar apart called “Amenabar”. Their three films are fantastic: “Tesis”, “Abre los ojos” (open the eyes) and “Los Otros”, (The others, well known because Nicole Kidman plays inside).
Perhaps too French for you, but I cannot avoid telling that I am an addicted to Truffaut films. Especially charmant are Antoine Doinel (director’s alter ego) histories. They must be seen following this order: "Les 400 cents coups", "baisers voles" (stolen kisses), "domicile conyugale" and “L’amour en fuite”.
I love as well any mafia and lawyer’s film, been my favourite Billy Wilder’s “Witness for the Prosecution”. What a great barrister!!!!
Now, time to remember other films that you can see at any time: Delicatessen, The piano, Love actually, Cinema Paradiso, Idiots’dinner, American Beauty…
Oh , there is also one wonderful film/documentary regarding a beautiful and sensitive love history. It is not played by pretty Hollywood faces; instead, film stars are penguins, so that its name is “March Of The Penguins”. Really a Must.

Interesting thoughts, and Sweder's that followed (even though I'd heard some Alien angst in Almeria. The sequel (above) wasn't as good as the original .

Thanks Ana, you've given me some good recommendations to check out. Don't know Idiot's Dinner but all the others mentioned in that sentence (Delicatessen, The Piano, Love Actually, Cinema Paradiso, American Beauty) I've enjoyed a lot, particularly the last two. Have you seen Il Postino? Has a similar mood to Cinema Paradiso. Great music too.

I'm also a big fan of legal and courtroom dramas. For some reason, I also go for school and prison movies.
