I can't believe that I missed this little comment thread.

Two of my favorite movies:

Fresh 12 year old chess playing, project living, drug running kid gets even with some gangsters for murdering his grade school crush. Amazing movie.

Until the End of the World (which I may have suggested to you before at some point, I think. Though Wender's Wings of Desire, some opine, is better. I like UTEOTW because of its imperfectness.)
