I just saw "Sex and Lucia" this week, and it was pretty great.
Usually, I go for the French movies, but this one, as well as some of the more recent Almodovar films ("Talk to Her", "All About my Mother") have me more interested in Spanish cinema.
If you really want to break out of the Hollywood formula, but want to see something in English, check out Peter Greenaway's films ("The Pillow Book", "Prospero's Books", "Drowning By Numbers", etc.) Most people I know hate his stuff, but he has an entirely different approach to filmmaking.
