A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) - Second viewing: scary parts just as gripping but the exaggerated nature of the drama became slightly off-putting. Young actors are impressive and visuals striking and beautiful.
Double Indemnity (1945) - Second golden era Noir I've seen (other is the Third Man) - enjoyably dark and pessimistic. Great snappy dialogue, especially Keyes character. Could have cut 10 mins somehow?
M (1931) - Very effective documentary feel to this classic early talkie. Enjoyed it more than was expecting. Impressive portrayal of the community as a whole and the different factors involved. Because of this and Lorre's pathetic turn, it becomes much more than a simple goodie/baddie crime movie.
