Glad someone else picked up on Nosferatu. Genuinely creepy. Good old Count Orlok. (Not Dracula, not Dracula - my God, can't you recognise a lawsuit when you see one?)

Bill and Ted beat the Grim Reaper at Twister

Bill: "You played very well, Death, especially with your totally heavy Death robes."

Death: "Don't patronise me."

The Sea Inside (Mar a dentro) - Spanish
Zatoichi - Japanese
Amorres Perros - Mexican
Black Cat, White Cat - i think its romanian but not sure - was a cute little morbid farce.

And there was a quebecoise film i really liked i saw in spain last year (so i was watching in french with spanish subtitles :S) translated into english the title is "The Big Seduction". It was about a small fishing town in decline who needed a village doctor to secure a factory to be built there to get jobs for the population. Its all about how the mayor and the population (~200 of them) all clubbed together to try to get the big city doc to fall in love with the place. Anyone else seen it?

Ringu (Japanese horror films just shouldn't be remade)

Caro Diario - because what could be more awesome than a film about driving a vespa around Rome?

Got to love anything by Fellini

la Strada

Amacord

Also *although by other directors)

Cinema Paridiso
Hiroshima Mon Amour
Jean De Florette and Manon Les sources (so tacky yet great and scarily similar to where I live in attitudes to new comers)

Like Water for chocolate

I also love goodbye Lenin, but don't we all


Oh and the three colour films by that polish director, really weird

And The Double Life of Veronique
