    Sundance:

    five minutes of heaven
    sleep dealer
    man on wire
    frozen river
    trouble the water
    padre nuestro
    right at your door
    iraq in fragments
    grizzly man
    hustle & flow
    murderball
    why we fight
    down to the bone
    super size me
    the corporation
    maria full of grace

    american splendor
    in the bedroom
    memento
    clerks
    blood simple

        that looks good. suprising how ang lee can do so many different types of films, and they are pretty much all excellent.

              Check out Thirst. It's from Chanwook Park, who directed Oldboy. It's a pretty interesting spin on the vampire genre.

                  The stuff that is on this list is pretty solid. You can't go wrong with most of them. Remember though that you're not watching standard Hollywood fare - some of this stuff requires a bit of interpretation and really aren't meant to be watched passively.
