I'm not sure how much you've seen Wes, but there's so many more gems. I don't think Second Run has ever put out a disappointing title yet, although Adelheid comes close. Here are my faves in no particular order:
Our beloved month of August
Diamonds of the Night
O Sangue
Valley of the Bees
Marketa Lazarova (took 3 watches before I made sense of anything)
The two Kim Longinotto documentary discs - Divorce Iranian Style/Runaway (seriously good films) and Shinkuku boys/Gaea Girls (I found the latter quite tough)
Blissfully Yours and Tropical Malady (I need to be in a certain frame of mind to watch these though)
I've still got to watch Casa de Lava - but I'm confident with Costa. And I agree - I got the Costa Criterion boxset; MoC's Colossal Youth blows it out of the water in terms of PQ and arguably supplements.
