Well yesterday I've watched Oldboy and it struck me that I really haven't seen many movies from countries other than America or England.
I assume majority of users here are from Land of the Free, or Canada, but for sure there are some people from all over the world - it'd be fun to share some gems from your country and recommend something to watch
I'll start ;p
Seksmisja/Sexmission (1984)
The two protagonists, Max and Albert, submit themselves in 1991 to the first human hibernation experiment. Instead of being awakened a few years later as planned, they wake up in the year 2044, in a post-nuclear world. By then, humans have retreated to underground living facilities, and, as a result of subjection to a specific kind of radiation, all males have died out. Women reproduce through parthenogenesis, living in an oppressive feminist society, where the apparatchiks teach that women suffered under males until males were removed from the world. The cold-shoulder treatment Max and Albert receive from the women, their character differences and specific realities of future life serve as background of many humorous encounters. The plot thickens when it turns out that the females have no interest in the rebirth of men, and that for the good of society, the two males are to be killed or "naturalised," i.e. undergo a sex-change...

Dzień Świra/Day of the Wacko (2002)
Day of Wacko is a dark comedy from the director of the internationally acclaimed Nothing Funny. Day of Wacko depicts a day in the life of a 49- year-old elementary school teacher who is completely disillusioned with his reality. As he looks for causes for his unhappiness, he blames his neighbors, his mother, his student, everyone but himself. But things wont turn around until he first takes a serious look at his own pathetic self.
Note: Plenty of people say in poland "the older you get, the less funny it becomes" lol.
