Volver is my favourite film ever. Almodovar is a genuis. All About My Mother... amazing
I also love Y Tu Mama Tambien, Persepolis, Pan's Labyrinth, Histoires d'Amérique (though maybe that's in english??) and Il y a longtemps que je t'aime was absolutely incredible.

Haha, its pretty cool how we're all on the internet but discussing our foreign films. So in theory, we are just discussing films not made in our respective countries, so we may as well be discussing all films since nothing is foreign on the internet to everybody immediately... o0''

I haven't seen a massive amount, but what I genuinely loved all them:
Priceless -- actually hilarious, made me laugh all the way through.
REC (I've seen #2 also, but it doesn't compare really)
Pan's Labyrinth -all time favourite film.
The Orphanage(El Orfanato)- terrifying, but in a good way, cos it's so well done in my opinion.
And all three Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movies, I found the 2nd and especially the 3rd as exciting as the 1st one. I can't help but to watch them one after the other.
I really want to see Amelie! I liked Coco before Chanel too. :)
