My absolute favorite is La Vita E Bella. It's in Italian with English subtitles, and it's a comedy-drama set during the 1940s-the Holocaust. it's absolutely gorgeous and completely heartbreaking and I can't recommend it enough. <3
Joyeux Noël is about 1/4 in English, I'd guess and the rest is subtitled German and French (it's French made) and it's SO beautiful even if it makes me cry every time. it's about the Christmas Truce during WWI so it's sort of a holiday movie but I watch it year round. (:
La Belle et la Bête (the 40s version, French) is quite interesting. A lot of things in Disney's Beauty and the Beast were taken from it instead of the original fairytale so it's fun to see how many later versions have been inspired by it.
Ladri di Biciclette (Italian) is an absolute classic and it's quite good. It was the first foreign film I saw.
Lancelot du Lac (French) is very..odd, shall we say? But it's really beautiful to look at and I love the way it portrays Lancelot and Guinevere's relationship.
That's off the top of my head but I know there's more than that. (:
