Run Lola Run (Lola rennt)
R
An original and well directed thriller but very unemotional and superficial.
It's more like you're watching a videogame instead of a film, the soundtrack was pretty lousy too and the acting below par.
For better movies on this theme (coincidences; movies that handle one situation from different angles), try La Via Lactea (superb Brazilian film), Smoking-no Smoking by Alain Resnais or Akira Kurosawa's Rashômon. I rate all those higher than this one.
3-Iron (Bin-jip) (Empty Houses)
R
Bin Jip (Empty House in Korean) is a timeless classic and certainly amongst the best movies ever made. Kim Ki Duk again uses a spiritual theme, this time Metaphysics. The movie can be interpreted in multiple ways. Is it a daydream, if so of which character or did it really happen or is it part dream / part reality? Apart from the unique story, the acting is amazing (the actors never speak but yet carry so much emotion) and the photography eye dropping. Add to that a wonderful soundtrack of Natasha Atlas and you have a highlight in cinematic history. Apart from a very philosophical film, this is one of the most touching love stories ever made.

Suna no Onna (Woman in the Dunes)
Unrated
This high tension, mysterious, haunting and even erotic Japanese movie from 1964 is in my book the most perfect movie ever made. The imagery is utterly beautiful and captivating. It is a reflection on Zen philosophy that makes U wonder about the meaning of life. People who like reading Sartre, Camus or Kafka will adore this.
