come make your list while it's hot.

in my opinion, Ong Bak.  This is a Thai action movie that has some of the most insane stunts and fights, not to mention they're really original and well-photographed, without wires nor special effects.  However, because it's a Thai film, and because somehow the Thai distributors have yet to release a version with subtitles, or an NTSC version at all, most people have yet to see it.
a little site for it, if you got divx check out the clips:

Guess you're too mainstream to notice the real arthouse festivals.
I saw the movie. It was alright. The JJ cameo was funny though.
