I think " Pan's Labyrrinth " from Mexico, I believe, should be the best foreign film of the year if there is any justice in the world!

Mexican director, but spanish movie... and I agree : one of the greatest movies ever filmed... with "Children of Men", last year... how silly is that ?... a mexican director again, working in UK !... What is happening in Mexico ?

You should try other films with Audrey Tautou... she's got a great filmography... (recently, "Hors de Prix" was awsome, and very funny)

I'm so excited for the excellent work the three Mexican directors have been doing this past year (Guillermo Del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron & Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu). They're amazing and Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men & Babel were all amazing. I saw this really great roundtable interview they did with Charlie Rose about their friendship together spanning years and years.

Just wanted to add another to my list...

Im Lauf der Zeit, aka Kings Of the Road, by Wim Wenders ...1976 - back when he was wonderful...he should never have come to America.

If the basis of foreign film is "isn't done in English", then I'd have to go with Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon.

Edit: I did just notice that bw92116 listed "The Seven Samurai" as a favourite foreign filem, and that one scores HIGH in my book.

Obviously, I'm a martial arts fan. Apparently I'm the only Bruce Lee, Ti Long and/or Jimmy Chang fan here...
