Pan's Labyrinth, there are a few more but I can't think of their names at the moment.
Damn memory.
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
The Lives of Others is a good shout from a bunch of you, blanked that and also The Wave at work, both really enjoyable.
Das Boot and Life is Beautiful are in the group of movies I hope to watch in the coming weeks. =]
*goes to look up the ones he hasn't heard of*
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I loved Bicycle Thief, I never did get into 400 Blows though. Or 8 1/2, for that matter. (smurf that movie)Originally Posted by Shiny
Crap, that's in the top 250. One to look forward to, huh? >_> Hopefully I can enjoy it.

Pan's Labyrinth
Seven Samurai

But Pan's Labyrinth pretty much above all else. In fact that film has a strong claim for being my favourite film ever.
Also this thread reminded me how many foreign-language films I still need to see. I almost invariably end up enjoying them but they take a lot more effort to watch because you can't rescind your attention even for a moment.
You should never do that anyway.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Life is Beautiful is kind of insulting to the Holocaust, in my opinion.
Oh damn, I completely got City of God mixed up with the film, The City of Lost Children. City of Lost Children was meh, but no City of God was really good. It was a little gratuitous and exploitative at times, but still good at showing the corruption and horrid social class system in Brazil. Speaking of Brazil, there are actually some other really good films to come out of there.
I really enjoyed Central Station and Elite Squad is also apparently really good, but I haven't seen that one yet.
Most foreign movies I've watched have been the Kung-fu movies, though I've been meaning to get around to watching Oldboy.

Game of Death (simply for the fight between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul Jabar)

Tampopo is another great one.
Also Rashomon.
EDIT: And Sholay.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is up there with my favorite documentaries of all time, and I likes me some documentaries. And I'm not even a big fan of sushi!
