If you liked City of God, you should check out Tsotsi, which is a film in the same vein of storytelling.
I recently watched a Swedish film called "Let the Right One In" that I highly recommend. It's a hit among horror fans. It's more of a psychological drama about it 12-year-old boy's relationship with the girl that moved in next door, who happens to be a vampire. The pacing is a bit slow, so if you can't hanlde that, I wouldn't recommend that you see this film.
and I fourth the Into The Wild recommendation. It's Sean Penn's best work. If you haven't read the book by Jon Krakauer, I highly recommend that you pick it up.

I was trying to think of Tsotsi. I like that one too! I think its African. Good stuff, thanks.
