I'm actually taking media studies at the university so I have to watch a lot of (mostly old) films. My favourites are more or less recent though:

1. Lost in Translation
2. Ghost World
3. Broken Flowers
4. Dan in Real Life
5. Pieces of April
6. Cashback
7. Garden State
8. American Beauty
9. Donnie Darko
10. Cube
11. Millenium Actress (Anime)
12. Spirited Away (Anime)
13. Haibane Renmei (Anime)

I prefer movies that concentrate on human relations without being ordinary or clichéd. Sol Stein put it this way (I'm quoting from memory): "Every character has to be a bit excentric to be interesting."
