made me realize I wanna share a few gems with ya.
note, that the german dubbing of the 70-early 90 was at its peak and made many movies better then there original was.
next to just about any modern day jackie chan movie from that era, I´d like to share with ya:

Millionairs express

(click to show/hide)

that scene alone is so funny in german, seems like english dub doesnt cut it. actually quite boring. I am dissapoint. anyway, in german, one of the funniest, coolest movies of my childhood, and one of my all time favorites

Mad Mission

(click to show/hide)

99 franc or 39,90 in german http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0875113/ don't miss the alternate ending

These come to mind immediately; some are critically acclaimed, but most were not successful movies. Primer is an especially interesting independent science fiction film oozing with vision.

Brazil
Primer
Memento
Burn After Reading
π [Pi]
A Serious Man

Quite so. The thing about The Grey is: Authenticity! It's not filmed in some warm studio in LA. The actors are really out there and don't need to act they are cold because the weather is real and they are freezing
