#4Blade Runner, but not the theatrical version with the phoned-in narration. Director's Cut or Final Cut. It's a beautifully-shot noir film whose special effects hold up even today, and has a very interesting take on the nature of humanity.
Edit: Harrison Ford on his narration: "It was simply bad narration." http://web.archive.org/web/20080603083514/http://www.harriso...

#5I watch mostly Chinese movies. I think my favorite one is "You Are The Apple of My Eye". You can watch it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4gZIolIrxw&list=FLSZdbc5...
It is a love story about first love. This is one of those stories which everyone can relate to some extant. It is a very very cute story.
It has English subtitles!

#6Enter The Void. A powerful parade of colors that takes you through the different stages of death. One does not simply watch this movie. One experiences it.

(plus the stunning cinematography and incredible nature of the true - though dramatized - story)

I think movie media (with subtitles) is one of the best ways to learn a language. I have been trying to learn Mandarin for a few months now, so can you please make some more suggestions? Thanks!

#9Koyaanisqatsi. It reminds me how big the world is and how everything is ultimately connected together in some way or another. Plus, good music and no dialogue which is a bonus.

#10Spy Game - starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt.
Guess it's the only spy thriller out there, that talks about the dirtier side of espionage, yet how it's up to the inhabitants of that dark corner, to not sell their souls.
