Not a new film off the list, but something I've seen again recently. You may be familiar with La Jetée as the basis for Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. It's a fascinating piece of cinema as it involves almost no action at all — just a series of still photographs with a voice-over and soundtrack. The story involves a prisoner in a post-apocalyptic society being sent backwards and forwards in time in an effort to save the human race. It's a fairly simple tale, actually, but the way in which it's told is quite mesmerising and it really draws you in. You have to get over the fact that the time machine is just a woman's bra, though.
It's only 26 minutes long so watch it.
[It seems they took this video down so you'll just have to Google it. Or buy the DVD, you cheapskate!]
