Goya's Ghosts (2006)
More amazing work from Milos Forman...he might not be as prolific as some other great directors (he's made less than 10 movies since Cuckoo's Nest in '75), but I've yet to see him create anything less than stellar.
This incredibly dark and powerful period piece is not only beautifully realised, but features a cast of powerhouse performers: Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård and Natalie Portman all inhabit these characters and deliver some truly powerful moments.
Didn't know what to expect from that as I knew next to nothing about Goya going into it...ended up being very impressed.
