Another vote for The Vanishing, originally titled Spooloos. You won't see the twist at the end coming at all.

That final scene is still phucking with my head, some 20 years after seeing it!
And another vote for `Le Diner de Cons`, truly hilarious. |

so many to choose from, but Confessions (Japanese) was just brilliant.

timbuctooth - if you are talking about The Vanishing then I agree
Same scenario here, saw it about 20 years ago possibly on BBC2, freaked me out at the time |

bigH, I`d guess I was being freaked out by it the very same night as you! And here we are, 20 years later, discussing our one and only viewing of it. Surely, an indication of how powerfully memorable that final scene is.

some not yet mentioned...
The Act of Killing - bizarre documentary in which the perpetrators of the Indonesian genocide happily stage reenactments of their atrocities. Pusher Pusher 2 (With Blood on my hands) Pusher 3 (I'm the angel of death) Brilliant danish drug trilogy from Drive director's Nicolas Winding Refn 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days - grim but fascinating romanian effort about an illegal abortion The skin I live in - weird and wonderful revenge thriller by Almodovar Reprise - Joachim Trier directed story similar in tone to Oslo, August 31st |

a bit of a leftfield suggestion..."Gangs of Wasseypur"
This Indian crime epic from 2012 is supposed to be astonishingly good. I've not found time to watch it yet as it clocks in at just over 5 hours long. Has anyone watched it yet? |

Another who watched the Vanishing about 20 yrs ago - I'm going out on a limb and saying it was shown on C4 though

Think it was late on Beeb 2 , a nauseating ending to a wonderful film ......without the feelgood naff ending of the yank copy.

Last Year at Marienbad - Delphine Seyrig and blokes in tuxedos wander aboot a bid auld hoose, gambling and playing games, and trying to figure out the meaning of it all. A bit like this forum with real women instead of truck drivers.
