Downfall
Like Water for Chocolate
The House of the Spirits
Bagdad Cafe
French Twist
Das Boot
The Nasty Girl
Schultz Gets the Blues
Joyeux Noel
Boy of the Terraces
The Kitchen Toto
Sometimes in April

There are so many more, but these are the first ones that come to my mind.
Of these I have seen the bolded. The Lives of Others is a must-see, definitely one of the best foreign films I have see.

Also can't forget the three colors trilogy (Red, White and Blue) from Krzysztof Kieslowski. This was my favorite:

It's difficult to know how many countries are included in this. Should it be only foreign-language films? I wondered about that after I included several from Australia. Then, I thought, "What about England and Canada?" This could be an extraordinarily lengthy list if I included those. As it is, I'm having a difficult time keeping my list fairly short.
