I recently watched Sin Nombre and it was badass.

Looking for some other good suggestions out there of other stuff to check out. I'm feeling pretty maxed out on US shows and movies waiting for True Dicks to premier. If you could provide a slight plot summary or general genre, that would be awesome too.

Cheers.

The Vanishing

Never saw the American remake so I can't comment on it but there's no way it was better than the original.

Pan's Labyrinth is the only movie that I consider perfect.

Spirited Away is a great movie too. They are finally releasing on bluray in June.
