Wow...4 pages so far and no one has recommended Amelie? I have seen it a couple of dozen times and it still holds up.
Also:
Once
Maria Full of Grace
The Spanish Apartment....

I almost put it down. I didn't like it much, but everyone else does so I will second your suggestion.

For the record No Man's Land beat it out for Foreign Film Oscar in 2001.

I don't know if it is considered foriegn but "They Wait" is Japanese and fairly new.

Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks.

This is a good British one:

Seriously though, the last good foreign film I saw was The Orphanage.

[Feb 2007]

The Great Silence, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, The Gospel According to St. Matthew

[volumeguy]

No one has suggested "Man Bites Dog" yet? It's great!
Some good foreign horror films:
1. Suspiria
2. The Beyond
3. The Devil's Backbone
4. Stacy (Japanese horror parody)
5. High Tension (great until the retarded 'twist' ending)
6. Audition
7. Ginger Snaps (Canadian)
8. Tomie

I don't know something about Audrey Tautou and the Amelie character made me go looking for shy French-speaking ridiculously cute brunettes for the better part of 3 years. It also fooled me into thinking that I cute understand French. Then I turned off the subtitles, lol. She was also in A Very Long Engagement, which turned out to be A Very Very Long Movie.

City of Lost Children isn't bad...don't know if anybody's mentioned that one so far but since it fits in with the "City Of..." theme...

That was indeed a very exhausting, but well done movie.
