Any suggestions? I recently saw Breathless, Deep Crimson and a Czech movie. Enjoyed them all.

And while it's not a "film", check out the series Fauda on Netflix. It's in Hebrew/Arabic, about an Israeli special forces unit.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It is SO much better in Chinese.

A few of these might not be entirely foreign language. I can't remember. They're all foreign films, though.

If you are able, highly recommend "The Fable."

It's just a great Japanese film that is possible to enjoy over and over.

It's subtitled and just enjoyable.

Jet Li's Hero and Fearless. Both are excellent movies.

+1 for Run Lola Run. That movie is fantastic!

The scene with the homeless man, bag full of cash and the gun is intense.

So glad someone mentioned this movie. I made a thread about it once. It got about two replies.

I love foreign movies and this is the first one I think of when offering a recommendation.

I crave happy endings in movies. The last half hour certainly isn't happy here. I wouldn't call the ending happy but this movie has my favorite ending of any movie.

To give a unique recommendation: The Invisible Guest. Spain. Good mystery movie.
