I am a sucker for obscure Indi and foreign Films usually with some action in them.

Any favorites?

A few I have seen recently that are pretty good.

Ink
Day Watch (Russian)
Night Watch (Russian)

Along these lines, add the The Crimson Rivers (French) with Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel.

P.S. Insomnia is a good choice. Much better than the American version. But it starred Stellan Skarsgard rather than Peter Sarsgaard.

I don't think an Oscar winner qualifies as obscure
