The Missing Round!
Featuring movies about missing pieces,
missing links, missing people -- you name it.
Be sure to specify what exactly is missing in your post.

From IMDb: Ajami is an area of Jaffa where Arabs, Palestinians, Jews, and Christians try to live together in an atmosphere that is -- to say the least -- electric. Omar, an Israeli Arab, struggles to save his family from elimination by a gang of extortionists. He also courts a beautiful Christian girl, Hadir, but marrying her is far from obvious. Malek, an illegal Palestinian worker, tries to collect enough money to pay for his mother's operation. Dando, an Israeli cop, does his utmost to trace his missing brother who may have been killed by Palestinians. Binj, Malek and Omar's Arab friend, suffers from being rejected by other members of his community for mixing with an Israeli girl. All of them will meet violence, most of the time ... with violence.

Good one.

IMDb: Freddie, a socially withdrawn bank clerk and butterfly collector, decides to expand to collecting human specimens. That's where art student Miranda Grey comes in [and becomes a missing person]. Miranda matches wits with Freddie the icy psychopath.
Creepy "Silence of the Lambs"-like poster.
Fran:
From IMDb: A story about a dead girl, told in five chapters. A woman, miserable in her circumscribed life caring for her domineering mother, finds a body. Somehow, this discovery allows her to change. At the morgue, the sister of a girl missing for 15 years believes the body is that of her sister; this liberates her. An older woman, married to a man who pays her little attention, finds evidence in a storage unit; how will she handle it? The mother of the dead girl, who left home some years before, visits the last place her daughter lived and makes her own discoveries. Last, we flash back to the victim's final day.

I like how you highlighted the word "missing"
in your post, so I've done some editing.
