Mostly French and Italian. The best of both worlds but its kinda difficult to say what are my favorite foreign films. I would say In the French side. Breathless and The 400 Blows was inspiring The Italian side is La Dolce Vita and 8 and a half I would say are my favorites but.....theres tons more. :)

The Franz + Polina was pretty good and the languages foreign. In my case subtitles saved the experience.

The style of this film's claymation was so beautiful and unique, I have truly never seen anything like it. I've watched this many times just to take in every bit of art, but in addition to the visuals the story, although heartbreaking at times, was also handled so well in my opinion. Overall amazing in every aspect!

I don't know what you would count as foreign to you but if you ever want to watch the best NZ film ever, watch Goodbye Pork Pie (1981) or the best AUS film ever CrackerJack (2002), undisputed best films from both countries

Wild Zero gotta be my favorite movie at the minute. it's just so crazy and stupid and I love it. 10/10 in my opinion. it kinda reminds me of how stupid and crazy FLCL (check that out as well it's an anime and also a 10/10 in my book)
(it's from Japan btw)

I've always been super into Swedish indie pop music so I'm trying to get into some Swedish films as well. I really enjoyed Patrik Age 1,5. I might also watch My Life As a Dog, as it seems right up my alley lol. I love coming of age films like that.

Cure(1997) is a monster of a film. Anyone looking for a chaser should definitely check out Audition(1999), Funny Games (1997) or maybe some of Atom Egoyan's earlier works (The sweet Hereafter, Exotica, The Adjuster). All foreign (to the us at least), all awesome psychological/sexual thrillers.

I don't keep track of what my favorite foreign films are because I watch a lot of them, especially Bollywood.
This is not Korean, French, or Italian...
But I really liked City of God (2002) and A Man Called Ove (2015).
A French film I really adore is Ma Vie De Courgette because it's clay animation, and I love animation of any kind.
