This one will change your perspective on war. I still got goosebumps.
All Quiet on the Western Front
This one‘s short but I loved it. Cinematographic very pleasing to watch.

Almanya: Welcome to Germany (2011) - IMDb
Extraordinary story. I always cry at the ending.
The White Masai (film)
No notes just that you can feel how it was for her. Damn.
The diary of Anne Frank
French
A definite classic. It's done beautifully and is truly representing French cinema.
Ziemlich beste Freunde (2011)
French dramedy but very well done although French humor is not everyones cuppa tea. With happy end, if I might add.
