Assuming "Foreign" means not in the English Language, then "Cafe de Flore" is quite a piece of work.

Just watched this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808185/
Strange but good film, some of you might like it, thought I'd mention it here.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I watched La Haine a few time over the past few weeks.
Truly and amazing crime film, that's raw realism, and amazing style. Cassel was good, and te directorial style inspiring. I wrote some more in this in Movie Tab, but ya I loved this film. In my top ten.

Rome, Open City - What it lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for in raw power, although there is some poetry in Rossellini's direction. Dialogue by Fellini. Filmed under the Nazis' noses.

Going by the typical American non English language movie, I guess that last great foreign films I saw were Fritz Lang's M and Metropolis. Genius filmmaker.

I watched a movie called Oldboy recently, they're doing an American remake later this year, and I found it to be surprisingly entertaining.
