From any country.. By the 80s, I think 99% of them got ridiculous, and just titilating audiences with violence and nudity, but with no meat and potatoes, and bad writing..
Some good ones I first think of..
-The Collector (Wyler)
as well as a few Japanese movies, "Blind Beast", "The Insect Woman" "Pleasure of the Flesh"
12 Years a Slave is one for me.
shareIt could be considered a kidnapping - Nature of the Beast/Hatchet Man (1995) with Lance Henriksen and Eric Roberts is really good ⤵️

Fargo 1996
Prisoners 2013
Taken 2008
The Searchers 1956
By now it's probably cliche to mention these classics, but they are my favorites:
The Searchers (1956)
Fargo (1996)
Haven't seen Buffalo 66. Heard only good things about it.
Disney's animated classic take on "Sleeping Beauty." The female lead is determined with what she wants out of life, very mature and confident in facing her fears. The princely fellow is more than just a pretty boy with a face. He gets to dash around and fling his sword at an evil dragon. Plus, he has a personality! The antagonist is remarkably flawed. It's hinted the villainess has been misunderstood, leading to isolation from society. But she refuses to see fault in her own. She's so lonely her only friend is a crow, whom she routinely chastises.
