Thanks, I will be adding some of them to my queue.

Here's a few others I've enjoyed that haven't already been listed:

Downfall (Hitler's last days and the fall of Berlin)

Elite Squad (Brazilian SWAT Team, same people who made City of God.)

The 400 Blows (one of the best of the French New Wave)

Yojimbo (another Kurosawa/Mifune classic)

Good Bye, Lenin! (Funnny yet serious German movie dealing with the fall of the Berlin Wall)

Vitus (a cool Swiss drama with an amazing pianist prodigy as the main character)

I couldn't find a trailer for it besides the one on Netflix, but Bus 174 is a very interesting Brazilian film dramatization about a bus hijacking in Rio de Janeiro. To me, it was amazing how the Brazilian police, SWAT, and media handled the whole situation.
