I don't approve of taste bashing. OK, that's entirely untrue. :-D But I won't bash your taste because it appears to be excellent.
Several of my top 10 all time favorite movies are "foreign". Some of my faves that you didn't list (not necessarily in order):
1. Tampopo (Japanese 1985) Juzo Itami 2. Babettes gæstebud/Babette's Feast (Danish1987) Gabriel Axel 3. Mitt liv som hund/My Life As a Dog (Swedish 1985) Lasse Hallström 4. Les Enfants du Paradis/Children of Paradise (French 1945) Marcel Carné 5. Yin shi nan nu/Eat Drink Man Woman (Taiwanese 1994) Ang Lee 6. L'Argent de Poche/Small Change (French 1976) François Truffaut 7. Persona (Swedish 1966) Ingmar Bergman 8. Pather Panchali (Bengali 1955) Satyajit Ray 9. Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco (Brazilian 1981) Hector Babenco 10. Cría cuervos (Spanish 1976) Carlos Saura 11. Really, anything by Pedro Almodóvar, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman. Satyajit Ray 12. Cousin Cousine, La Grande Illusion, Noirs et blancs en couleur (Black and White in Color), Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum), Entre Nous, Z, Cinema Paradiso, Ju Dou, The Scent of Green Papaya, Antonia's Line. OK, clearly I've gotten carried away. I'll stop now.
