Re: foreign films
and I had to make a seperate post about the films of Polish filmmaker, Krystof Kieslowski:
the Three Colors trilogy (Blue, White, Red) The Double Life of Veronique The Decalogue and his earlier work.... the man was a giant. My favorite filmmaker of all-time. What's beautiful about his films are what makes them so impossible to describe - they are pure emotion. One of the few who figured out how to interpret internal thoughts and emotion via an external medium. They aren't easy, but they are incredible works of art.

Re: foreign films
i'm obsessed with perception and memory, so these might not be for you, but:
Wandâfuru raifu japanese film about the afterlife. very, very good. L'Année dernière à Marienbad this is my favorite film ever. it's about a woman who meets a man who she had an affair with last year at the same resort she's currently visiting with her husband. or she didn't. and her husband knows. or he doesn't. and some other stuff happens. or it doesn't.

Re: foreign films
First, Zoolander and Old School ARE fine films.
Second, the lists above are good. Also try Krieger und die Kaiserin, Der (The Princess and the Warrior). It's one of my all time favorite movies. A very bizarre love story with Franka Potente (from Run Lola Run) with a bit more of a plot than Lola. Her chin dimple is cute.
