There's an interesting looking remake of Blood Simple, called something like A simple Noodle Story, though I couldn't find any subtitles.

Appelsinpiken was pretty good as a movie. I still love Pennies from Heaven and Paper Moon though.

These movies have no rhyme or reason. It's basically just a random selection of blockbusters and cult hits from the last 60 years. Time to throw my hat into the ring!
