1. Taegukgi (The Brotherhood of War) - South Korea
A war movie about two brothers who ended up having to fight for the South side in Korean war.

Another Korean movie, this time is a drama about the life of a monk and his apprentice, I heard about the great cinematography on this one.

3. Kontroll - Hungary

4. Thumbsucker - USA
Kind of self explanatory, Keanu Reeves as a dentist?? yea rite...also about teenage angst.

A powerful, true story. Sophie and Hans are members of a resistance group against the Nazi regime. When the siblings hand flyers out on campus, they are arrested by the Gestapo. Sophie manages to bluff the interrogating officer, Robert Mohr, but Hans finally confesses everything. Moved by Sophie's uncommon bravery, Mohr offers her a way out – but at the price of betraying her ideals. She refuses the offer, sealing her fate. The Scholls are then accused of high treason.

10. Noi Albinoi - Iceland
