Shinoda's Double Suicide.
Ilo Ilo (2013) - In Singapore, a hardworking mother becomes jealous of her son's close bond with his nanny. Basically just a film about a few months in the life of a family. Brilliantly shot and acted.
A Separation (2011) - An Iranian film, which in itself makes it interesting. If I was asked to pick a film from the last decade to show to someone it would be this. Deserved all the attention it got. Brilliant.
The New World (2005) - The best film from one of our greatest directors, Terrence Malick. Maligned by critics and fans on its debut, I firmly believes it stands as a great cinematic achievement. Malick creates a world in this film, where every character feels real despite having fairly little dialogue. Every shot and line is masterfully delivered, each one beautiful enough to stop the heart.

OP have you seen Hunger by Steve McQueen? It's a film not many people talk about, but it floors me.
Sword of the Stranger is another one. It's pretty outragous how good this one is. This guy. He made a fucking Digimon movie before this. DIGIMON. How is that even possible?
El Topo is one of the most insane films I have seen in recent years, but I haven't seen his others. I really want to see The Holy Mountain.
Dreyers Jean'De Arc from 1928 is one of the best silent films I have ever seen. It's the music that makes it. It's just a court drama with tons of close-ups. It's really really good, but not for your average film viewer.

8 & 1/2 and La Dolce Vita. Because Fellini > Everyone else.
Or if you want something lighter, I just watched Ninotchka and it's excellent. Probably my favorite Lubitsch movie.

Best film of the decade
The Matador - a 2006(?) movie with Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear. It's part drama/comedy/suspense, but ultimately it's a character study about these two guys who form an unlikely friendship in Mexico. Brosnan is a hitman and basically plays a perverted, washed up Bond and it's fucking amazing. Really a great movie I think.
CRTL + F "Police Story"
My man!
I also notice you posted Five Fingers of Death. That's cool, but keep in mind it's also known as King Boxer (The Best R1 DVD release by Dragon Dynasty is titled "King Boxer: Five Fingers of Death.)
For action
Yes, Madam
Wheels on Meals
Project A
Armour of God 1 & 2 (Make sure you find the uncut versions)
Dragons Forever
Sha Po Lang (AKA Kill Zone)
Righting Wrongs (AKA Above the Law)
I dunno if you're into comedy. If you are I recommend Coming to America. My favorite Eddie Murphy movie.

How'd I forget to list Seven Samurai!? That's a masterpiece.
This list needs more Archers. Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is my favorite. The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, and A Matter of Life and Death should all be considered essential. Peeping Tom is also worth mentioning. I'd recommend going through the top 5 lists on Filmspotting and cherry picking from there. The Sight & Sound top 250 is probably also another good one to sift through. http://explore.bfi.org.uk/sightandsoundpolls/2012/critics
