    Sixt sense and Kagemusha are my favotite movies on your list! They don’ t make movies like this anymore seems the most important thing about a movie now is the special effects and not the story. Just look at Avatar!

    I too enjoyed Nina Paley’s Sita Sings Blue – I will add Deepa Mehta’s Fire, Earth and Water ( http://www.socialedge.org/blogs/global-x/archive/2005/11/02/fire-earth-water-the-movies-of-deepa-mehta ) An education is also a good movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174732/ Our tastes may differ – so You may want to take my recommendations with a pinch of Salt.
