How about Asian cinema?
Some of the best movies I've seen the past few years have come out of Asia. Most of them I caught after signing up for Netflix since they have a very large selection of the genre.
Here's a few of my faves.
Battle Royale - Long before there was Hunger Games there was this.
Internal Affairs - The inspiration for The Departed and there's many scenes that are completely aped.
Mother - hugely moving picture about the lengths a parent will go for their child.
The Man From Nowhere - Best revenge picture ever IMO.
I Saw the Devil - What a mind f*ck of a movie!
