Two from me that haven't yet been mentioned (as far as I can see)

Dark Water: A beautiful Japanese horror that was released at a similar time to Ringu, but didn't get an English language remake.

City of God: A stunning portrait of gang rivalry in Rio de Janiero that bears repeat viewings.

City of God is great. Watched it as part of some recommended films list and it stuck with me.

City of God has the best child acting of any movie I've ever seen. It is so good I sorta suspect they weren't even acting in some scenes. I have to imagine they straight up pulled in random kids and told them they were going to gun them down in the street and just filmed it.

Have seen both. The original is better.
