Allow me mate...

City of GHod (2002)
Pixote (1980)
Das Boot (1981)
Christiane F (1981)
Aguirre, The Wrath of GHod (1971)
Any Fassbinder film but for a starter try The Marriage of Maria Braun (1978)
Nosferatu (1922)
Stalker (1979 - if you don't like slower paced films might not be for you)

as for French, if you liked Les Miserables, try
La Haine (1995)
and if you can find it, Baxter (1989) is something else!

So many great foreign films over the decades and decades mate...we didn't even dwell on Danish and Scandinavian cinema!

Not heard of most of those but I watched a French film called 13 (Tzameti) once that was great, a thriller about russian roulette.

Excellent, not seen that but on my list, thanks.

Some of that list is very arty, some is less so.

A couple of fun action ones...
District 13
The Raid

What did you think of the Raid 2? Have you seen “The Night Comes For Us”?
 
I thought The Raid 2 was great - completely different to the first in style and a much better all round movie for me.
 
British director for both
Yup. Welshman Gareth Evans (of TVs Gangs of London fame) tapping into the Indonesian film market! Crazy link really!

If you like them, try ‘The night comes for us’ on Netflix. It’s another Iko Uwais film, but the other lead - Joe Taslim steals the show. Also has the Raid 2s ‘Hammer Girl’. It’s an absolute stonker of a movie. Relentless.

Will check it out.

Tried watching Memories of Murder last night, South Korean, unless it massively picks up it the second hour i don't get why it's so highly rated. Will try and finish this evening

What a series! Visceral! Yes, I think he has some great credit in the bank from his Raid adventures. I remember hearing that he directed The Raid soon after seeing it on its release; I admit to laughing at the juxtaposition of it all!
