Non-American movies I like: Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run, German): Manny, Lola's boyfriend, lost 20K marks in the subway. In desperation, he asks Lola to find 20K marks. 3 stories in one, one after another, different versions of the same plot is what makes this movie so full of kickassness.
Auf Wiedersehn, Lenin! (Bye, Bye Lenin!, German): Maria (was that her name?), born in Communist Germany, was a fervently patriotic leader of the Pioneers, a Boy Scout-ish group of teenagers. One day, his son takes place in a manifestation supporting democracy and civil freedoms, only to end up in jail for a month. His mom was going for groceries when she sees her son getting busted and gets so shocked, she has a heart stroke passes away and falls in coma for 8 months, during which the Berlin Wall fell and the unification of Communist and Capitalist Germany is scheduled to take place in 1990. The doctor tells her to have a calm life without any kind of shocks that may aggravate her heart condition; as a result, he locks her in her bedroom with the old decoration, wearing the same clothes he wore 8 years back, and setting everything up to make her believe she still lives in East Germany. And the whole process of making her believe she's still in East Germany is what makes this movie kick such huge amounts of a**.
Nicotina (Nicotine, Mexican): Lolo is an 31337 5|_|P4 H4xX0R hired by a couple of contrabandists (an Argentinian and a Mexican) to steal some bank passwords and give them to the Russian Mafia in exchange for a big-a** handful of diamonds. But her neighbor discovers he has been spying on her for 3 months, so she mixes up and burns all the videos he recorded, including the CD with the passwords. When the Russians find out Lolo gave the wrong CD, they start to shoot each other, and the fat Russian is wounded in the process, making it to a barber shop where he dies, triggering a shouting match between the barber couple. I can't tell anymore, because telling more is so ******** spoiler!
