My wife & I really liked My Life As a Dog but haven't seen it in a long time.
etc.
TCM is my favorite cable channel.
Re Bride of Frankenstein: every time I try to watch it, I fall asleep in the middle of it.
Re The Gods Are Crazy: would have been one of my favorites except for the racism (blacks are incapable of ruling themselves etc.) and pro-apartheid propaganda.
Re Tampopo: liked it enough to buy it on video.

I love speculative fiction, and I've a penchant for post-apocalyptic stuff. Still favs, however would be Forbidden Planet, War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, the Day the Earth Stood Still, and (why, I don't know) Robinson Crusoe on Mars. I've watched these so many times I can't even count.
I should probably watch more comedies and help my occasionally sour worldview

Robinson Crusoe on Mars was much better than I expected.
