Favourite non-English movies?
 
List your favourite films where English is not the spoken language. Eeeasy as that.

German:
Good Bye, Lenin! - beautiful film.
Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) - likewise. Tragic that the star of the movie died only a year after it was made.
Lola Rennt (Run, Lola, Run)
Gegen die Wand (Head-On) - we studied the films of Fatih Akin for A Level...I recommend all of them really. They tackle a lot of gritty subjects and whilst the films are somewhat uncomfortable viewing, they're powerful.
Metropolis - pioneering.

Spanish:
Y Tu Mama Tambien - drugs, beaches, sexual experimentation, roadtrips, teenagers - perfect revelry film that somehow manages to pluck poignancy out of the air by the end.
Glue - an Argentinean film about a sexually-confused teenager...it's got some great scenery, and it's...hot *blushes*
Volver - intense, gripping stuff and it really roped me in.

French:
Amelie - just...brilliant. Clever, funny, tragic, cute and...actually makes me consider living in rural France.

Multiple-language:
Babel - English, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic - great editing of 3 totally different moving stories

German:

Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) - really haunting
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) - really sad
Lola Rennt (1998) - like a cool '90s videogame
The Edukators (2004) - a good teen movie
Head-On (2004) - pretty depressing and strong violence

French/Polish:

Trois Couleurs: Bleu (1993) - like a depressing Amélie

Japanese:

Ringu (1998) - better than the U.S. remake

Spanish:

Jamón, Jamón (1992) - just really funny
