Also, especially for Migeru and rg: Mikan no Taikyoku

Tonari no Totoro

Nirgendwo in Afrika

And call me weepy sentimental son of a bitch, but how about Nuovo cinema Paradiso?

Some Serb fare:
-Underground
-Crna mačka, beli mačor
-Dom za vesanje
-Ko to tamo peva

Some French fare:
-Le Père Noël est une ordure
-La vérité si je mens
-Riens du tout

And in English, but who cares, because it transcends nationality: The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Totoro is great, we got it for me Jonathan a few months ago. Of course, all the movies by Hayao Miyazaki are recommended. Grave of the Fireflies is a beatifully crafted and poignant anime, too.

Absolutely, there seems to be no upside to the story, it's just grim.

But I think it is a good innoculation against war, and an illustration of how deeply WWII affected Japan.

The mention of Cinema Paradiso reminds me of Mediterraneo (Gabriele Salvatores, 1991).
