Year: 1991
Director: Lars von Trier
Plot: Europa (retitled Zentropa for the American release) is an hallucinatory Danish film set in postwar Germany. Jean-Marc Barr plays a young German who aspires for a job as a street conductor. But this is no mere "Joe Job;" Barr's adventures on the line are designed as a metaphor for the emergence of the "New Europe" following the war. Barbara Sukowa costars as the daughter of a railroad magnate--and possible Nazi sympathizer. Many of the special-effects sequences are computer enhanced, but even the "live" scenes have an unsettling, surreal quality to them (colors changing abruptly, backgrounds shifting without warning, etc.) This experimental film left some viewers confused, which may be why English-language prints of Zentropa are narrated by Max von Sydow. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: Europa (or Zentropa, whatever you prefer I guess) is all about trains and Nazis. The opening sequence with train tracks serving as a device for hypnotism is absolutely brilliant. Wanted has a kick-ass fight scene on a train, with hundreds of human lives lost in the pursuit of one guy. Thankfully, nobody seems to care about those people that fall into the canyon. Night on Earth is a movie about conversations and encounters in taxis, and it has an early Winona Ryder performance. She's actually quite annoying, but the movie's great.
