I think doing an analysis of some foreign films could be interesting in particular Hero, Shanghai Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle. Hero would probably be the best suited to an academic analysis but the two comedies also have some of the same themes.
You might also try some of the Bollywood movies coming out of India. A friend of mine showed me Monsoon Wedding and I thought it was pretty interesting. He also recommended Sholay to me.
