I've probably watched most(80-90%) of movies recommended in the normal TL movie threads. I'm looking for foreign films now that are good. Anyone have recommendations?

Examples of stuff I've seen and I consider good are Life is Beautiful(italian), Amelie(french), Old Boy(korean), My Sassy Girl(korean), Memories of a Murder(korean),Not One Less(chinese),Brother(korean) etc etc.

Definitely Cidade de Deus (2002) (City of God)
Dalkomhan insaeng (2005) (A Bittersweet Life)
- An action movie with similarities to OldBoy.
Taegukgi (2004) (Brotherhood of War)
- Very good Korean war movie.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005)
- 2 Good action movies from the director of OldBoy.
Banlieu 13 (2004)
- French parkour action movie with parkour star David Belle.

I didn't like taeguki at all and i usually like all korean movies -_-.

korean movies i suggest.

1. JSA (Joint Security Zone).
2. Friends.
3. Windstruck (Proquel to My sassy girl). But the story is completly unrelated. I consider this a chick's movie.
4. Sex is zero.

Japanese Movies:

Blue Spring

Platonic sex

Battle Royale (only the first one) if you haven't seen it already.

Chinese movies:

This one just came out in america i think: curse of the golden flower. Most chinese ppl liked the movie but i heard it hasn't done so well overseas.

Blade (old wuxia action packed hongkong movie).

pusher is a great movie... simply great

i want to ask something to all you "foreign cinemas" experts
i remember a movie, i think it was russian from late '90s but i totally cant remember the title
this movie was about a young girl in moscow, maybe she was 15-16...
her mother left'em to an haunt to go to some cool place (U.S.?) with her new boyfriend
this haunt threat her very bad, like a sort of cinderella, so this girl just escape and hang around in that ghetto with her younger friend... a 10yrs old (or something similar) guy, this young guy love her
at a certain point this young guy got an overdose and died, he will appear to her in form of an angel

so this girl left alone, without family, money and stuff, found a boyfriend : a cool swedish boy with big car that promise her to bring her to sweden and married her...
well of course she agreed and go with him, everything seems so sadly romantic and drivin to an happy end but, when they arrive to his city, he make her a prostitute and basically she become his slave
she's locked in a small appartament and taked out only to be screw from some old fat man violently... at the end of the movie, she escape from this appartament and (again) while it seems to go to a great happy end, she realize, she half naked, with no money, with no friends, with no family, with no id or passport, in a foreign country and so on... so she jump off from a roof.
"The end"

now this movie, here in italy was named with a russian female name, something like "ninotchka" or something (but daaaaaaaaamn i can't even remember that name)

help me found that title, and honestly once we found out that title, watch this smart and great movie ...
pusher and this are two of the best movies i ever seen

EDIT: OMG I found it

Battle Royale 2 is soooo much funnier.

The plot makes no sense, and half way through, it turns into an anti-American film.

Sólo con tu pareja

Ascenseur pour l'échafaud aka Elevator to the Gallows

Popiól i diament aka Ashes and Diamonds

Spoorloos aka The Vanishing

I can list more if you'd like.
