Carne Tremula (live flesh) and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down - more Pedro Almodovar - most of his movies are incredible

Lucia y el Sexo (Sex and Lucy), Los Amantes del Circulo Polar (Lovers of the Arctic Circle), and Tierra (Earth) - by Julio Medem - if you like Almadovar you have to see these - and Najwa Nimri is so smokin hot.

Kung Fu Hustle, The Drunken Master, Enter The Dragon, Hero, and The Legend of Feng Sai Yuk (do not see "Legend" - poorly recut for Americans)

La Haine (Hate)

El Mariachi - the original, not that hollywood shiyte

Terra Estrangeira (Foreign Land)

Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos (Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands - classic Brazil)

Stalker - by Andrei Tarkovsky

Salaam Bombay

Sin Noticias de Dios (don't tempt me) and Non ti muovere (Don't move) for Penelope Cruz fans

The Host - a Korean Film

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)

Latcho Drom

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Brazil

Microcosmos: Le peuple de l'herbe - documentary about insects

My Life as a Dog (Sweden) and Insomnia (Norway)

OK, ran out of steam, hope everyone enjoys my recommendations....

P.S. War Dance - saw it today in the theater - absolutely incredible, couldn't stop crying - but it is American

Russia: Andrei Rublev, The Cranes are Flying, Battleship Potemkin

France: Le Samourai, Jules Et Jim, The 400 Blows, M. Hulot's Holiday, Breathless, La Regle du Jeu, L'enfants du Paradis

I love the Japanese filmmaker, Shunji Iwai. Love Letter, All About Lily Chou-Chou, and Swallowtail Butterfly are my three favorite. AALCC is definitely in my top 3 films of all time--dark, poetic, subtle, and strange.
