Y tu mama tambien? Really? I thought it was horrible.
If you want to see a great mexican underground movie, try Amore Perros. Its about love, hate, friendship, betrayal...and dog fights.
Amazing movie IMO.

Yeah, Amores Perros was good.
And I'm surprised you thought Y Tu Mama Tambien was horrible. Maybe we have different tastes, but I haven't seen a movie that depicted sex/lust, and the process of discovering it, in a more frank and honest way. I thought it was a wonderful little movie.
You should check out City of God if you haven't already, especially since you mentioned Amores Perros.
Great picks everybody, rented "Man Bites Dog" tonight, and will probably watch it tomorrow night. I had heard about it for a while, and with the new Criterion DVD version out, I figured I had better see it. Ready for some ultra violence.
Here's a few more I scrounged up from my list at imdb.com:
Dr. Strangelove - A sorta obvious one, but the new special edition is AWESOME, and it is still timeless as ever. Brilliant film.
Owning Mahowney - Based on a true story about a Canadian banker and his million dollar embezzlement scheme, Philip Seymour Haffman is fascinating as the lead character.
The Man Who Wasn't There - Underrated film noir-type thriller by the Coen brothers. Dazzling b & w cinematography- probably (and sadly) the reason why this film kind of slipped through the mainstream. Some of you old fogeys out there would probably appreciate and enjoy this one.
Wonder Boys - Quirky comedy/drama about an aging college professor and a couple of his students, among other things. Good cast, and well done.
Young Frankenstein - Many think Blazing Saddles is Mel Brooks' best comedy, but I like YF. The first time I saw it, I remember thinking, why aren't any new comedies this funny?
