If you like this one I recommend you the following:

Angel Heart
Lord of Illusions
Jacob's Ladder

Why? For the similar atmospheres (although Lord of Illusions is a bit more "majestetic" as I see it as HUGE Clive Barker fan). Also the stories are a bit similar (more or less, it depends on what you think about those films.).

Has anybody seen those three oder films? What do you think about those four?

I'm also a big Lars von Trier (,Jim Jarmusch and Federico Fellini*) fan and The Element of Crime is not his best one but at least it is GOOD. Keep in mind that it's one of his first!

*by the way, those three mentioned are my favourite ones, and Fellini is #1.

Here are some films I think have a similar feel. Alphaville (1965) - by Jean Luc Godard. Numb (2003) - by Michael Ferris Gibson. Of course, THX 1138 (the original version, not Lucas's mindless "Director's Cut"). Blade Runner. Clockwork Orange. Brazil. Maybe City of Lost Children and Delicatessen.

"Alphaville" by Jean-Luc Godard. Pretty similar stuff in many ways.
