One of the most holy shit movies i have ever seen must be Festen (the celebriation) by Thomas Vinterberg. Just a freaking Masterpiece.
I mentioned before Love Exposure....4 hour epic japanese masterpiece on love, religion, perversion...just a mindblowing flick about love against all odds...my favorite movie
Confession, Tetsuya Nakashimas masterpiece. An middle school teacher claims to have infected two Students with HIV whom she deems guilty of killing her 3 year old daughter...then all hell breaks loose. Loving Japanese cinema for a reason.
I saw the Devil...brutal masterpiece in a bit of a twist of oldboy. A killer murders the pregnant wife of a korean secret service agent who is out for revenge...freaking mind blowing thriller that takes no prisoners.
Enter the Void...just a weird ass movie...an LSD trip put on screen.
GO, a korean born japanese fights racism in mid 90s japan. Featuring a couple of my favorite actors and handling a very important topic for the country and just beeing a great youth / coming of age movie.
Yeah i dig asian cinema.

"Jiro's Dream Of Sushi", about a Japanese sushi master who supposedly makes the best sushi in the world and who attained this reputation through a lifetime of perfecting his techniques.
"Tim's Vermeer", about the co-founder of Newtek the maker of Lightwave, who went on a multi-year painting project to discover or re-discover how Vermeer did his photo-real paintings. Vermeer if you don't know was an artist from the 17th century and his technique was never known for over 300 years. And Tim Jenison, the subject of this documentary, was never trained nor experienced as a painter. But the result of how he "figured" Vermeer's technique out is mind blowing.
No spoilers, it was still a lot of grunt work to pull out.
