That trio of French films that came out in the last few years, the two musketeer ones and the third one Count of Monte Cristo... the latter is one of my favourite films, so well made and acted.

The Iranian movie Bachcha-e-Aasmaan (English name: Children of Heaven).
Italian movie Cinema Paradiso. This movie is the embodiment of my love for cinema.
Both of them feel so raw and genuine it makes me come back to them time and again.
Impossible to choose: Pusher or Los Cronocrimines
Fantastic Planet.
They Call Me Jeeg, funny Italian superhero underdog movie
The Hairdresser's Husband, a French movie I saw @25 years ago when Bravo was still doing artsy-fartsy instead of brain-rot. I took 4 years of French in H.S., but I don't claim to be fluent.
Das Boot might be my favourite movie full stop.
Train to Busan
Seven Samurai, and The Hidden Fortress.
In China They Eat Dogs. I Kina Spiser de Hunde.
Bajrangi bhaijaan.
(2015 Hindi comedy-drama film starring Salman Khan as a devotee of Hanuman who helps a mute Pakistani girl).
Lots of great suggestions here. One movie I’d like to highlight is Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, which I found to be fun, clever, and utterly charming.
"Happy Times". A chinese film about a grifter and a young blind girl.
