Postino, Il (1994), great foreign movie.

Plus always enjoyed, those François Truffaut films.

Just too many movies and to be honest similar threads come up from time to time, but if you like foreign movies 'Cinema Paradiso' is a beautiful movie, a must see;

One of the best movies I've seen lately and one of my favourites was "Basic" starring John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Twist after twist, well plotted movie.
Thought "The Life of David Gayle" was a good un too.
