I agree with an earlier (long time ago) post that it's nearly impossible to pick a 'best' movie- there are just too many good movies around, but I'm actually a little bit surprised that no one brought up any of my favourites...
Anyone would consider movies like 'trainspotting', 'the dreamers' or 'lost in translation' to be one of the best?
There are also some decent movies from Hong Kong- say, 'Happy together' or '2046' or any of the masterpieces from a director named Wong Kar Wai. Any of the movie lovers here should have a look at his movies.
But inevitably the wisdom and atmosphere created by the lines in Cantonese won't be delivered and built as effectively with subtitles translated into other languages. Or in some cases one wouldn't even understand what the director (and the screenplay writer at the same time) is trying to say... *sigh*
