I didn't see
The Lives of Others on the list. Maybe that's because it's a German film, but Miller didn't say the movies had to be American.
Lives brilliantly chronicles omnipresent eavesdropping that the STASI carried out in former Eastern Germany. If you want to have a taste of how weird life was behind the Iron Curtain on a day-to-day basis, see the film.

I agree, The Lives of Others was a very good film.
