Spoorloos aka The Vanishing (1988)
One of the most anticipated movies for me that I was looking for years. An excellent psychological thriller indeed. Absolutely loved it for its brilliant camera work, characterization and the gripping performance of the cast.

Cell 211 (2009)
Wow!
A surprisingly very entertaining prison revolt action packed drama that has the capacity to keep you at the edge of your seat. The story of this 8 Goya Award winning (Spanish Oscars!) film follows a newly hired prison officer finds himself in the midst of a prison riot after an unforeseen turn of events. With the inmates around him unaware of his position, he must pretend to be a prisoner to survive. As from the beginning with mounting amount of tension the story evolves in unexpected ways, changing our perceptions of characters and the situation again and again. This film has it all, intelligence, action, drama, suspense, sadness and even a dash of comedy through all the madness. Kudos to the director & the entire cast for their spectacular performance that mostly contributed to made it so intense & engaging till the end.
Highly Recommended.
