All the Wong Kar Wai films, especially 2046- he has an amazing visual style and ability to film mood. His characters are so fake and yet so real all at the same time.
Tron Legacy- the film is just too cool.
Inception- that movie is about the best mainstream philosophical film I've seen. And if you're keeping track, the point is YOU (not Leo di Cap) doesn't know whether you're awake or sleeping. It's very matrix-like in that sense, although the matrix movies tried to get too smart in the end.
Akira Kurosawa- he really knows how to tell a story.
Before sunrise and before sunset. Those two movies shouldn't be so good, but they are.
Spirited Away, and other Hayao Miyazaki films. I love the strange and abstract, especially when they come with heart.
I find WKW's films too slow, but I do agree his visual style is good.
Kurosawa is of course a well known master.
Haven't seen any of the sunrise/sunset movies though.
