Need a Folder comparison utility

[Confused_Chimp]

I'm looking for some recommendations for folder comparison utility that can compare file versions etc. images, documents etc.
preferably freeware, preferably open sourced. But most importantly works well.

I use WinMerge http://winmerge.org/ It is open source and has worked well for me.
