Looking for some good FOREIGN movies?

OKay, I've had it with the lack of originality in Hollywood. It seems like there's nothing but the same old bland sameness coming out these days. Do we *really* need a remake of "Robocop" and another "Paranormal Activity" movie?

Can anyone suggest any good foreign movies? The genre doesn't matter, nor does the age. I just want to see something different.

    Some (American) independent movies and series can be quite good, mainly on cable. It's the big studios that get to be rather dull and boring.

    Aimée & Jaguar (Germany (1999)

    When Night Is Falling (1995)

    The Time of the Wolf [Le temps du loup] (France, Austria, Germany 2003)

    Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002)

    Walkabout (UK 1971)

    Fool's Gold: The Story of the Brink's-Mat Robbery (1992)

    Living with the Dead (2002)

    An Inspector Calls (1954)

    The Lathe of Heaven (1980)

    Yeah, Hollywood is boring, actually that's why they copy so many European shows like The Killing (Forbrydelsen) and The Bridge from Sweden - they're fabulous!

    And some movies I like -

    Timecrimes [Los cronocrímenes] (Spain 2007)

    The 18.10 Train [De trein van zes uur tien] (Netherlands 1999)

    Next Door (Norway, Denmark, Sweden 2005)

    The Apartment [L'appartement] (France | Spain | Italy 1996)

    The 18.10 Train [De trein van zes uur tien] (Netherlands 1999)

    House of Sand [Casa de Areia] (Brazil 2005)

    Tell No One (France 2006)

    Incendies (2010)

    Icarus XB 1 [Ikarie XB 1] (Czechoslovakia 1963)

    Solaris [Solyaris] (Soviet Union 1972)

    The Door [Die Tür] (Germany 2009)
