Great indie movies, foreign language films, or documentaries to rent?

Another Korean movie that I recently saw that you might be interested in.

It's called "Chingu" 진구(Friend)

It's about four friends who grow up and grow apart, two of which become high ranking members of competing mafia.

It held the korean box office record from 2001 to 2003

Found this entire movie online through Google Video (bad quality, but oh well):

Watched the first 15 minutes, looked pretty good, so I've ordered the DVD. I'll be interested to watch it.

Just watched this. Meh. I wasn't thrilled with it. Interesting concept though, great reveals towards the end.

Didn't thrill me, but it held my attention. 3/4 stars-ish.

Just watched City of God after hearing it recommended in this thread and a few other places. Truly amazing directing and editing, it just never let up. One of the best movies I've seen in quite a while.

It is. It is very good.

I've seen it. It's a good film with a very sweet premise, but apparently I'm not human.
