    Several great German films:

    Metropolis / M by Fritz Lang.
    Run Lola Run, Tom Tkywer
    Lives of Others / Never Look Away by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck...

    Peter Lorre's depiction of fear in "M" was unforgettable. He was phenomenal....

    M: I came here for a good argument.
    A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
    M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
    A: It can be.
    M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
    A: No it isn't.
    M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
    A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
    M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
    A: Yes it is!
    M: No it isn't!

    Wasn't he? He was also memorable in Casablanca and Arsenic and old lace. Such a mobile face and body...

    Peter Lorre in my opinion was a very underrated, underappreciated superb actor. He was truly a great talent.

    I haven't watched any of his movies lately, but I remember very much enjoying several by Ingmar Bergman. Seventh Seal and The Magician come to mind. And of course there's Kurasowa's Rashomon, and perhaps my all-time non-English favorite, Gojira:

    (What are you laughing at? Just change the name and the joke’s on you.)

    Several come to mind:

    Diva (French)
    Cocktail Molotov (French)
    Dziewczyna z szafy (Polish)
    Betty Blue (French)
    Stranger Than Paradise (not non-English, but could have been, haha)
    Run Lola Run (German)
    After Life (Japanese)
    and another Japanese movie the title of which escapes me, begins with M... gorgeous cinematography
    Oh! Of course, Tampopo! (Japanese)

    Scared me to death as a kid. Gojira-sama, not Rashomon.

    We have a copy of Orpheo Negro and watched it not long ago. Eerie. Great music.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!
