Do American films count as 'foreign' for me? 

Anyway, favourite films not in English:

Amelie
La Haine
Pan's Labyrinth
Goodbye, Lenin!
Olivier, Olivier
M
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari*
L'Auberge Espagnole
Run Lola Run
Nightwatch/Daywatch
House of Flying Daggers
Europa Europa
Pandora's Box*
Little Otik
Rashomon
Let the Right One In
ETA: La Reine Margot


Little Otik is one of the craziest, most fun films I've ever seen. You should totally watch it. I'm also going to outmyself as a ~cultural philistine and say I prefer the American dub of Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle. Idek, Christian Bale is a good Howl for me.

Yeah, definitely. I can't stand most dubs and I get what you're saying with Japanese -- plus the fact that some things just don't translate well at all (I also find this with Spanish films, so refuse to watch the dub) but I can handle it with Miyazaki. Whomever chooses the voice actors/script for the dub seems to do it very well.

There was also a line changed in HMC which I preferred in the dub but I suppose because it's a Welsh story originally, I don't get annoyed. I dunno, I'm rambling. But I agree with you.
