 | Delicatessen - Movie Poster (Size: 27'' x 40'')
Buy new: $12.99 After watching this movie, I prefer it to Amelie. Much darker movie but with all the quirky twists and characters like Amelie. In French.
|
 | Funny Games
Buy used from: $18.64 There is an American remake of this film, so this might be considered cheating to a certain extent, but I recommend this film over the American. It's one of the most disturbing films I have ever watched and if you don't speak German, I think the language barrier makes it even harsher. In German.

 | Pan's Labyrinth
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $2.22 This is a standard for many foreign language film lists, but it deserves to be. It's so terribly dark in certain parts of the film, but also incredibly imaginative and a visual delight. In Spanish.
