I've seen a bunch of movies from Almodóvar: Volver with Penelope Cruz, and La Mala Educacion with Gael Garcia Bernal of Amores Perros fame. I liked the direction in both, so I'll probably have to check that out.
Movies from Spain are seriously underrated.

The reviews for Abrazos Rotos seem pretty mixed.

Thread here got me re-watching it again last night. I've come to the conclusion it's the best movie for 2009 that I've seen so far.

Le salaire de la peur (1953) - The Wages of Fear
First time watching this incredibly suspenseful movie, I can't believe how well it held up over half a century. Couldn't find a trailer for it anywhere online, but I got it from Netflix.

An oil company enlists four destitute drifters -- Mario (Yves Montand), Luigi (Folco Lulli), Bimba (Peter Van Eyck) and Jo (Charles Vanel) -- for a dangerous mission transporting volatile explosives across Central America's treacherous terrain. Packed with nerve-racking tension that never lets up, director Henri-Georges Clouzot's gritty masterpiece took home the Grand Prize at the 1953 Cannes Film Festival.

I was blown away by "Waltz with Bashir", an Israeli documentary done with animation. Powerful stuff.

Director Ari Folman employs vivid animation in this Golden Globe-winning film, exploring the memory gaps in his life during his service for the Israeli army in the Lebanese war of the early 1980s. Recounting stories based on recorded interviews with colleagues and friends, Folman relives the horrors of war and dissects the curious coping mechanisms humans use to survive under brutal circumstances.

Looks promising, adding it to my Netflix queue now.

I enjoyed "Broken Embraces" ALOT. One of my faves from last year. Spanish movie industry is practically him and that guy that made "Pan's Labrynth". Franco's regime was not kind to the movie industry.
I see Almodovar sort of as our Douglas Sirk. He's basically a genre.

Anyone seen Kontroll? Haven't had a chance to see it...wondering if it's worth a watch.
I was bored with it, but maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Saw these and want to comment:
Man Bites Dog---i agree on it being hilarious and equally distrubing.
The Barbarian Invasions (French Canadian)---LOVED this movie. My top 3 Canadian movies along with "The Sweet Hereafter" and Jesus of Montreal (from same director).
Also, thumbs up to Melville's "Le Cercle Rouge"---already one of top fave gangster movies. Alain Deion (sp?) is the MAN. Great tone/style.

All About My Mother: Interesting movie by Pedro Almodóvar, director of La Mala Educación (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Volver (Penelope Cruz).
Shot in 1999 in Spain, it won the Academy Award and Golden Globe both for Best Foreign Language Film.

I'll just go ahead and insert Tae Guk Gi. A Korean Movie about the Korean war. I know at the time it was the biggest budget for a korean movie. Top 5 war movie for me.

Good movie. Some of the over-acting is a little annoying, but I guess that's asian acting for you (happens in the brilliant Oldboy too)

just saw this. really good
The Embalmer
(L'Imbalsamatore)
2002 96 minutes
Ernesto Mahieux plays Peppino, a taxidermist infatuated with his hunky assistant, Valerio (Valerio Foglia Manzillo). To curry favor, Peppino takes Valerio out on the town and sets him up with prostitutes -- activities paid for in part by his strange dealings with the Mob. But when Valerio starts a relationship with the idealistic Deborah (Elisabetta Rocchetti), the two men's odd friendship takes a backseat, pushing Peppino to the brink.

I can see that they over-acted as in too Hollywoodish at times. Or that's how it seemed to me. but like you, I just thought it was how the asian do it.

"Hop" - Great Belgian film in French.
Can't find a trailer anywhere, but the movie is on Netflix.
