There should be more available. There are some awesome films out there that I never hear about and you foreign bastards should tell me more about them.
Recent films I have watched.
Hana Bi La Haine

I grabbed a strange old Japanese movie off suprnova.org the other day (well, week), Onibaba, it's in the horror section. Very weird ambience to this one, I'd make a point to hunt it down if I didn't already have it. It has one of my favorite masks ever in it.
And I watched Ichii the Killer the other day. Gooey.

I used to have Onibaba on video, excellent film , with the rushes blowing in the wind, the big hole, the mask...very spooky, very good.
Channel 4 in the 80s and early 90s used to show brilliant foreign films. Fuck knows what they put on now.

Historias Minimas (Minimal Stories) Dir Carlos Sorin Arg 2002
1hr 31m Subtitled Javier Lombordo, Antonio Benedictti, Javiera Bravo, Francis Sandoval
Using mainly non-professional actors, this charming Argentinian road movie interweaves three tales of people seeking their dreams amidst the epic landscape of Patagonia. Old Don Justo’s eyesight is failing, but he’s still determined to hitch to a distant town where his missing dog Badface has been spotted. Roberto is a travelling salesman hoping to impress a young widow with a birthday cake for her kid. Impoverished Maria travels towards a game show taping and her dream prize.
Saw it at the cornerhouse in manchester a few months back... excellent film. Highly recommended.

so long as we're talking about japan:
Tokyo Drifer Branded to Kill the Pornographers Woman in the Dunes Black Rain (very, very sad and disturbing, but very well made also)
a few french'uns:
Shoot the Piano Player Pierrot Le Fou La Jetee Le Samourai Last Year In Marienbad <--strictly for those who enjoy cerebral, visual, pretentious films that don't really go anywhere... ;)
elsewhere: Aguirre, the Wrath of God (german) Kanal (polish) Element of Crime (danish... but in english) Stalker (Russia) Taste of Cherry (Iranian)
just a few favourites of mine that might interest people... please don't take my word for it though because i have weird taste in movies... read up on them first...

Great thread.
It would be even greater if people described the movies a bit and not just name dropped.
Have you seen this one ? One of the best movies ive seen.
