these first 2 are excellent and very modern/action packed:
run lola run
city of god

these 2 are a little sentimental so not sure if you'll like them:
life is beautiful
amelie

this one is also really action packed, modern and well done:
amores perros


go here if you want to read about them a little bit:

Ive seen Life is Beautiful and thought it was fantastic. Ive also been reccomended Run Lola Run. Might add that to the netfrix queue.

Try "Hard Boiled" by John Woo. It's the most action-packed shoot-em-up you'll ever see. Dazzling, endlessly entertaining.

There's a new one in theaters called Paradise Now. Very good. Check it out.

Though I suppose this only meets the "foreign" requirement. It's not a comedy by any means.
