Hedgehog in the Fog, which is “considered one of the best animated films of all time.” There are a few other worthy Soviet cartoons out there that I can’t recall their names at the moment.
A lot of good films already mentioned. One contemporary director that I’m particularly impressed by is David Gordon Green. I highly recommend Undertow for those who haven’t seen it.
