Off the top of my head, some great ones:

Repulsion - Best creepy movie I've ever seen
Amelie
Ikiru - So good...New DVD reissue is great
City Of God
The Bicycle Thief
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Zaitochi
No Man's Land
Brotherhood Of The Wolf
The Station Agent
Hard Boiled
Tokyo Drifter
The Killer


After some research, also these:

Talk To Her
The Barbarian Invasions (Canadian French - foreign to me!)
Three Colours Trilogy (Red/White/Blue)
L'Avventura

Didn't Like As Much As I Thought I Might, But Still Good:

8 1/2
La Strada
The 400 Blows
The Seventh Seal

Overrated:

Can't think of too many right away...usually, I rent foreign flicks after a recommendation or a good review I read, so I don't see too many crappy ones. Here's some I've seen that aren't worth seeing again (using my imdb.com list):

Osama
Dogville
Kolya
Cinema Paradiso
Satryicon
Like Water For Chocolate
Any Truffaut/Godard film
Jules And Jim
