Vals im Bashir is a very shocking movie, and Miyazaki is just so beautifully imaginative.
My favorites: Spirited away and Howl's moving castle

Spirited Away and Howls Moving Castle are two of the best animated films ever.

I checked out The Rules of the Game, it's a 1930's French film by Jean Renoir.

In that case; these are my favorites:
Germany: Das Leben Der Anderen (The Lives Of Others), Good Bye Lenin!, Das Experiment (The Experiment)...
I'm surprised you didn't mention Der Untergang (Downfall), it's a brilliant film with fantastic actors in it. German actors are incredibly good (as we could see that in Inglourious Basterds).

It's because I did not like Der Untergang. The movie is like a record of what happened, while in my opinion it needed some better story telling. The director basically told you the following; "Okay, this is what happened. Cheers!". I don't really like this kind of 'reconstructions', which is also why I did not like Zodiac (that was basically made the same way).
