Oh come on, North by Northwest! Mm, also Psycho, The Graduate, Kiss me Deadly, Zabriskie Point(!), Lost in Translation, Reservoir Dogs, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. That’s a lot, I suppose.

Good call with Stroszek, I would also add Aguirre.
I wholeheartedly agree with previously mentioned “8 1/2”, “Ikiru”, “Aguirre” and Tarkovsky’s “Solaris”. I was also deeply moved by the ending of “The Reflecting Skin”.
ORLANDO
Good call on POETRY m klein.

Didn’t particularly care for the film. But thought the ending was perfect.

2002
Rushmore
(No complains whatsoever about anything Wes Anderson ever does in slow-motion)
The icon montage at the end of Andrei Rublev. If there is a moment in the cinema that might be called transcendent, that’s probably it. Come to think of it, Andrei Rublev also has one of my favourite opening scenes of all time as well—the man in the balloon.
“Shut up and deal.”
