*Amores Perros
*Life is Beautiful
*Requiem for a Dream
*Grave of the Fireflies
*Blade Runner (Director's Cut) - I'm so glad I studied this in high school
*American Beauty
*Red
*Before Sunrise/Sunset
*House of Sand and Fog (one of the few cases where the movie is better than the book...I read the book after and it was surprisingly disappointing overall...the characterisation is still excellent, but the pacing is rather poor and it has too much padding)
*City of Lost Children

Man, this movie could have been so much more. You could see where Kubrick was taking it but Spielberg fucked it by trying to balance family appeal with the adult subject matter. I mean, just take the opening scene with the female android in her underwear - if Kubrick had directed it she would have been stark naked. Actually I think this perfectly illustrates the difference between their directing philosophies. Schindler's List is, obviously, an anomaly for Spielberg.
