I was really enjoying reading through this post of films until i got to the end. Half Nelson is such a bad movie, completely devoid of the integrity and darkness of most of the other films people mentioned.
Anyway, I didn't want it to be the last one here.
As for movies like Lily Chou Chou, I think Kiyoshi Kurosawa's(Pulse, Bright Future, plus Tokyo Sonata looks wonderful) and Shinya Tsukamoto's(Vital, Tokyo Fist, Bullet Ballet) films are also really interesting and visceral. Something special going on in Japan man!
