The Intouchables (aka Untouchable) is my new favourite non-English language film. Beforehand it was probably City of God.
Other really good ones off the top of my head: Amelie, Downfall, Oldboy, Elite Squad.

Just a few I like off the top of my head..
- [REC] (Spain)
- @Suicide Room (Poland)
- Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Japan)
- The Eye (Hong Kong)
- White: Curse of the Melody (Korea)
I always thought American Beauty was a pretty nice movie.

I've got The Girl Who Leapty Through Time bookmarked, but have yet to get round to watching it. I still know nothing about it; just bookmarked it on a whim of interest. :)
I remember watching a French film from the... 80s, I think, about the plague. I remember a crow touching a man's arm and him setting fire to it. I wish I could watch that film again. :(
Discounting anime stuff:
Chungking Express
After Life
City of God
The Lives of Others
Still Walking
The Seven Samurai
Can't believe I didn't think to mention City of God. :shame:
LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie!Quote:

There was also a really good French film about a bank robber's path of redemption. The ending was the best chase scene I have ever seen on film. Too bad the name escapes me. French cinema is the best but I thought City of God was just ok.
