lmao I skimmed it

I've tried a lot of spanish spoken movies that are considered great (Cronos, Espinazo del Diablo, Timecrimes, Sin Noticias de Dios and probably a few more) and none of them really stood out as anything special. So yeah, just throwing some titles for you to research yourself
Oldboy is really the first thing that comes to mind when people discuss non U.S. cinema, surprised nobody mentioned it so far (or maybe someone did but I didn't notice). Never watched it myself, 'cause that language is painful to my ears. Appologies to the asian fellows in here. Watching it dubbed in another language is, unfortunately, just as annoying.
Russian cinema is supposedly ill too. Never watched anything, but a friend of mine whose opinion I respect very much said that Stalker blew him away.
Bergman is also a name usually associated with quality. Seventh Seal and Persona, for starters

Devils Backbone (Espinazo del Diablo) is very good, and so is The Orphanage (Del Toro produced it) ... I find his stuff generally overrated.
Stalker is not one I've seen yet, Andrei Tarkovsky is a master though so you'd expect it to be superb.

"timecrimes", looks very cool, ill check it. thanks 8)
not schooled on spanish stuff, but ive seen some of it - "Te doy mis ojos" and "La fiesta del chivo" are my favorites from Spain
my favorite shit is primarely stuff from France (1960's and earlier)/independent or mainstream and (of course) Scandinavia (preferably Sweden) --- all the stuff that influenced the american filmmakers during the the reordering of Hollywood in the late 60's. i like asian shit too
yea, "Oldboy" is a cool movie, but i liked "thirst" more for some reason.
russian movies are boring as fuck (and i usually like boring movies). i liked "Stalker" tho, which u mentioned (but it was too long).. i prefer "solyaris", another classic russian flick (kind of like the same sub-genre "russian science fiction"). higly recommended
Swedish director Ingmar Bergman is probly the "greatest" filmmaker from Scandinavia,, but either u love or hate his movies (no in-between), definitely not for everyone

Stalker is really boring if you ask me, I had to convince myself to watch the whole movie
