As far as foreign films, I would say The Seventh Seal is very good. I recently saw this, and greatly enjoyed it. Also, I would try to see almost anything by Luis Bunuel (That Obscure Object of Desire, The Diary of a Chambermaid). His movies have a different style to them. If you like any of his movies, I would check out Peter Greenaway as well (A Zed and Two Naughts, The Draughtsman's Contract). They have a similar style to me, but some might disagree. I would also recommend Breathless, by Jean-Luc Godard. If possible, get the DVD w/ commentary, it really helps the movie seem not quite as dated.
