I adored it!

Most recently Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth.
Beautiful, intense and surreal film set in Spain at the end of the civil war. It blurs the fantasy world of a young girl with the troubled times she is living through, so you are never quite sure what is her imagination and what is really happening. The fantasy creatures have a wonderful quality of otherness to them too - miles away from any cosy Muppet imaginings.

Two thumbs up.
