    I see a lot of good movies listed already. The ones I don't see are: Parents and City of Lost Children.

    City of Lost Children is in subtitles, but if you can hang with that, it goes in the same category as Delicatesen, 12 Monkeys, and Brazil.

    I don't know if Parents goes in any category. It's pretty dark and incredible. I'm talking about the one with Randy Quaid.

    Hey, I just noticed... no-one said Time Bandits! WTF? Or 12 Monkeys! WTFx2 ?!?!
