My God...There are so many...A few in no particular order...And, no Asian films (the list would be way too long then)

Devil's Backbone. I agree. A wonderful wonderful movie. It seems "older"somehow and classic.
Wings of Desire / Faraway So Close
Cyrano De Bergerac
The rock Book
City of God
Leon
Delicatessin
The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover
City of Lost Children
And of course, as my pal Alex put it, the Forest Gump of France, Amelie

Fuck it...I thought it was sweet.
