Battle Royale 1 & 2 are a very good choice if you don't mind bloody films. Death Note isn't bad. Water Lilies and Le Serpent are 2 French films I like. Worth watching I think :]

Some really great suggestions here! Surprised that no one has not mentioned Wenders' "Der Himmel über Berlin" (English released as "Wings of Desire") - it's so incredibly beautiful, and my favourite film to boot. It should be recommended viewing for lonely people. It makes loneliness look really romantic and cool on everyone. Starring Bruno Ganz (familiar to many as Hitler in Downfall) as an absolutely magnificent, lonely angel with the best eyes ever..... And Columbo. And Berlin (the city). And Nick Cave does a cameo. If you find yourself having one of those days when you hate people and life... and you hate that feeling, watch this.

One of my favorite ones, Versus. It's essentially The Matrix with zombies and the slapstick humor of Evil Dead 2.

 

[Broken_Doll]

The Dreamers (2003, France/UK/Italy, drama/romance), directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. .
Braindead (1992, New Zealand - released as Dead Alive in North America, comedy/horror).
Leon (1994, French, crime/drama/thriller).
Ma mère (2004, French/Austrian/Portuguese/Spanish, drama).
Dans Ma Peau (2002, French, horror)

The Last Circus

Definitely on the stranger side.

You want to watch "the orphanage", are you talking about the Spanish horror movie?
If you like horror movies, I really enjoyed REC (It's Spanish).

If you want something more "serious", I'd recommend "The Secret in Their Eyes": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/

 

[kamya]

You might like "10 timer til paradis" the english title changed to "Teddy Bear". It is about a lonely bodybuilder that goes to Thailand to find love. I liked the movie and it has a nice ending.

It's based off of this short titled "Dennis"

Thanks. Based on the synopsis i figured that i would pass on it because it didn't sound of interest. After seeing most of the short that you linked to, i changed my mind and hopefully can watch it next weekend.

 

[perfanoff]

There's "Black Cat, White Cat"
It's a Serbian movie about the gypsy lifestyle. You probably have to have lived in the region to fully appreciate it but it's still funny and upbeat.
