Well...I've been trying to figure this foreign film thing out for about two years now.
Here's a few that have grabbed me so far:
Denmark:
Zentropa / Lars von Trier (see this one)
Germany:
The American Friend / Wenders
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Heart of Glass / Herzog
France:
Clean Slate, The Clockmaker / Bertrand Tavernier (who also did that Dexter Gordon flick, 'Round Midnight)
America:
Men With Guns / John Sayles (My local video store thinks it's foreign because it's not in English...the director is American, though. Maybe it is foreign. I don't know.)
Russia:
Solaris, Mirror / Tarkovsky
Man with a Movie Camera (1929) / Dziga Vertov
Czechoslovakia:
Czech Republic:
Dimensions of Dialogue, Punch and Judy, The Death of Stalinism in Bohemia (animated film shorts) / Jan Svankmajer
West Bohemia:
The Emperor's Nightingale (more animated shorts) / Jiri Trnka
Poland:
The Mascot, a/k/a Puppet Love, a/k/a The Devil's Ball (1933-34), Frogland (animated shorts and animated shorts) / Ladislaw Starwicz
Krzysztof Kieslowski
Italy:
I like old Fellini films the best
La strada (1954), Il bidone (The Swindle) (1955)
(I guess Fellini's Satyricon is my fav. later one)
Iran:
The Taste of Cherry, Close-Up / Abbas Kiarostami
Canada:
Shivers, Dead Ringers, Spider / Cronenberg
There's A LOT I haven't seen.
