Underground:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114787/
Definitely worth watching. Starts off as a scribal comedy... then gets pretty deep and continues going back and forth. Quite a trip of a movie.

Elite Squad: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0861739/
Elite Squad: The Enemy Within: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1555149/?ref_=tt_rec_tti

Awesome movies about an honest cop trying to clean up corruption in Brazil.

Nine Queens: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247586/
If you like con movies, this one is a great one.

No Man's Land: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283509/
Great war movie. Shows how senseless war is.

Drop everything you're doing and watch this. Clear your mind and watch it in silence. Don't snack on popcorn (or penis) or anything that can disturb you and break concentration.

One of the best films I've ever seen.

Anyone see The Kingdom, a Danish, haunted hospital sorta thing?

cliff notes version of these two please?

Also... the best ones Ichi the Killer, City of God, and Downfall have been mentioned.

I would like to add :

Let The Right One In
Irreversible
Green Street Hooligans (might as well be subtitled with the cockney accents.)

I second both amores perros and pan's labyrinth. I love all the Pedro almodovar films, and a French movie called Delicatessen is freaky but pretty artistic. Delicatessen is about a butcher who kills people to provide meat for the town.

Sin Nombre is good, too

Eight-part mini series, probably not worth the time. Great initially, very creepy, but falls apart shortly thereafter. Cliffs: a Danish, haunted hospital sorta thing. Best I can do, sorry. Check IMDB.

Well I love my Godzilla movies but there was this French or Italian movie about the holocaust which was really good. Life is Beautiful was it's name.

A toss up between two French titles, "Cyrano" and "The Count of Monte Cristo".  The latter is more a mini-series but both are excellent and I have a fondness for period pieces.

Some damn great films mentioned here and just a couple of stinkers.

My family is in the movie production business and I always argue that the best foreign films are way more enjoyable than the best Hollywood productions.

But I don't know the reason for that!

So here's my favorite foreign film with subtitles.

DHOOM 3

But I have yet to see Dhom 1 nor Dhoom 2 and the majority of the films most of you have mentioned as your favorites, sio I reserve the right to change my mind once I get a chance to watch most of those films mentioned above 0 the majority of which I never knew existed.

Thanks for the recommendaitons.

The Carlos miniseries is a very decent watch -

.

The mini series is about double the length of the film version, but worth the time.

.

The Baader Meinhof Complex was very decent too, I thought it fell apart a bit at the end, worth a look.

all of them are great!  critics seem to think 2 is the best, i like 3 the most probably because i saw it first.  funny that mads mikkelsen is actually starring in an english language tv show now, lol!
