I've been meaning to expand my Criterion selection beyond Kurosawa and Bergman for some time now. Mouchette and Fire on the Plains seem to be up my alley, so I've taken the plunge on those. Any other recommendations as far as hopeless, bleak films go? My favorites are Apocalypse Now, Aguirre Wrath of God and The Seventh Seal, if that helps.

Kanal and Sansho the Bailiff are musts for you.

Others on the "bleak" tip (I'm assuming from your post that you've got Bergman and Kurosawa covered):

Bicycle Thieves
Day of Wrath
Fists in the Pocket
La Haine
Jigoku
Naked
Story of a Prostitute
Oh man, these sound like my cup of tea. Your suggestions are much appreciated. Now it's just a matter of payday rolling around. :)

And practically every other Criterion is on my wish list on Amazon.
(Pssst...Barnes & Noble has them cheaper!)

Since Criterion has my disposable income for the foreseeable future, I might as well just register for a membership with B&N.
