I tend to do a lucky dip style and then not look again so that whatever comes is a surprise (not always a good one!).

Biutiful
Coffee and Cigarettes
Goya's Ghosts
Match Point
Not Here to be Loved

A couple I would recommend:

Offside - Directed by Jafar Panahi (now imprisoned in Iran)
A comedy, think of the stoning scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian only this ones about Iranian girls who are football fans trying to get into see a football match in Iran where women are banned from attending.

4 months, 3 weeks & 2 days - Drama about a woman who assists her friend to arrange an illegal abortion in 1980's Romania. Need a strong stomach for this one!
