I'm going to say The Castle, a charming little Aussie comedy. It's hilarious for Aussies because we don't really act like the family in this film does, and it's funny for non-Aussies because they all assume we do.
I also really, really liked Alfonso Cuarón's Y tu mamá también, also known as And Your Mother Too. Really excellent film.
This is my new favorite thread. I'm a big fan of foreign cinema.
The Vengeance Trilogy, well the two i've seen were great films. Once Upon a Time in China, Drunken Master, District 13, Foul King and basically any comedy Stephen Chow has been in.
Without going on for days about the many films I have seen and loved I will get to my favorite... Immortel (ad vitam) by Enki Bilal. Linda Hardy's performance is great for the role and eventhough it could have been so much better, as is it is still a very good film.
Last Year at Marienbad - Alain Resnais Je t'aime, je t'aime - Alain Resnais (you will probably never find this one) The Exterminating Angel - Luis Buñuel Mon Oncle - Jacques Tati Picnic at Hanging Rock - Peter Weir Seven Beauties - Lina Wertmüller Kwaidan - Various The Gods Must Be Crazy - Jamie Uys Aguirre, the Wrath of God - Werner Herzog The Seventh Seal - Ingmar Bergman The Devils - Ken Russell Battleship Potemkin - Sergei M. Eisenstein (If you are interested in film history you should see this film)

I am going to have to say Ong Bak, Tony Jaa has been dubbed the best since Bruce Lee... In his films you can see the argument in that. follow the links. Plus he does all his own stunts, no wire work.
I'd say "Amelie", "Kikujiro" and "Oldboy". In fact, I might try to jazz up my new myspace page with "Kikujiro's" theme tune, it was so beautiful. Takeshi Kitano is brilliant.
I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what other movies are worth checking out.
Oldboy in America would be bashed and brutalized for the love story because in a sense it is incest but it is at its heart a love story.
The villain if you can call him that is... in my eyes anyway just as much of a victim as the hero.
As far as Tony Jaa goes. He is a great martial artist and makes me want to learn more about Tai Boxing but at the same time they overcredit him because Warrior King is not as innovative. I was left thinking and...
Where do they go? Tai Boxing doesn't have enough moves to garner a new film and he can only rehash the same moves so many times before we get tired of him.
Next move is to America to ruin Tai Boxing like Chan did for his own career. Teaming up with Chris Tucker on any level will ruin your career unless you're Sam Jackson shoving him in a trunk and killing him. That was Tuckers best role... a corpse.
Legend of Drunken Master is probably the best martial arts film I've ever seen and I have seen many of the top rated ones around the world. Drunken Boxing is probably the most comedic style of martial arts and I would love to see films like that more often.
Is my favorite foreign movie. Here is a couple of plot summaries from IMDB:
A famous film director returns home to a Sicilian village for the first time after almost 30 years. He reminisces about his childhood at the Cinema Paradiso where Alfredo, the projectionist, first brought about his love of films. He is also reminded of his lost teenage love, Elena, who he had to leave before he left for Rome.
Summary written by Graeme Roy
A man receives news from his aging mother in a little town that someone he once knew has passed away. A beautiful story unfolds about the man's childhood friendship with an old man who was the projectionist at the local theater. Their bond was one that contained many highlights and tragedies, and shaped the way for a young boy to grow and move out of his rundown village to pursue a dream.

I loved this film for many reasons you guys should check it out sometime.

That's been showing on the movie channel lately. Looks great, think i might watch it. Kung Fu Hustle is another favorite of mine. Great directing.

Ringu 0 is probably the best of that series. Amelie was well done, and El Mariachi is admirable knowing what he had to work with. City of God was a little odd, but the characters were created well. Does A Fistful of Dollars count? Some of that film is clearly dubbed (or maybe his audio is out of sync) along with several of Sergio Leone's films.
