Run Lola Run

Mona Lisa

Metropolis, YouTube has a 3hr 41 minute version but no sound at all and I'm not really able to handle that.

I'll add:

The Wages of Fear: 1953, In the Central American jungle supplies of nitroglycerin are needed at a remote oil field. The oil company pays four men to deliver the supplies in two trucks. A tense rivalry develops between the two sets of drivers and on the rough remote roads the slightest jolt can result in death. I don't think I saw the remake, "Sorcerer". I read that Netflix is making a version of it.

Bread and Chocolate: 1974, Italian immigrant Nino steadfastly tries to become a member of Swiss Society no matter how awful his situation becomes.

Delicatessen: 1991, Centered on a post-apocalyptic society where food is scarce and used as currency. In an apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor. The owner of the eatery also owns the apartment building and is in need of a new maintenance man since the prior one "mysteriously" disappeared. A former clown applies for the job and the butcher's intent is to have him work for as little as possible.
