This is a hard one
I really dig the Zatoichi films produced, directed, and starring Shintaro Katsu.
A seemingly blind Masseur that assumes the title Zatoichi (zato meaning zero or lowest rank, and ichi meaning masseur)
In reality this blind ichi is actually a high ranking yakuza assassin and is an extremely skilled swordsman.
go to IMDB to read about it. There are 25 of these Japanese films, and they all have the same actor and they are amazing. If you like Seven Samurai, you will dig this.

Fantastic Planet! : D
I enjoy a lot of Japanese animated films, like the ones directed by Hayao Miyazaki and Wolf Children...

I've seen a good few foreign films, but not loads, and I'd like to watch a few more, so this is a good thread for me  Of the ones I've seen, I really enjoyed:
The Lives of Others
The Baader-Meinhof Complex
Mirror (Tarkovsky)
La Dolce Vita
Let The Right One In (didn't imagine I'd find a film with so much blood and gore so sweet  )

Ah yes, forgot-- all the Bergman and Tarkovsky stuff.
As well as basically any Korean horror movie.

Oh yeah, Bergman - I forgot about him too. Went through a Bergman phase not so long back, had to stop after a while because it was getting me down  Loved 'Persona,' 'Wild Strawberries,' and 'Through a Glass Darkly,' though must admit I didn't get all the fuss over 'The Seventh Seal,' but it's been a few years since I've seen that and I might appreciate it more now.

Forgot to add Ponyo (one of the more recent Miyazaki movies. It is possibly the most adorable movie in existence. Almost unbearably so.)

Love Persona. I haven't seen most of them in ages, myself. Seventh Seal seems to be quite popular with the snooty pretentious types, I notice! (And granted it is quite a visually striking film)
Hmm, I want to rewatch Hour of the Wolf. I've always liked the opening bit: "The hour of the wolf is the hour between night and dawn. It is the hour when most people die, when sleep is the deepest, when nightmares feel most real. It is the hour when the demons are most powerful. The hour of the wolf is also the hour when most children are born.'
Though I don't really make a distinction between "foreign" films and English language ones.. Seems odd to divide all movies under the sun into two categories like that. However, non-American movies are typically always better than American ones. Especially when concerning horror movies. American horror movies just.. Completely lack subtlety and atmosphere. They're always rushed.
