Some really good films getting recommend, but a few from my collection -

36 Quai des Orfèvres (would seriously recommend watching)
Les Chevaliers du ciel (storyline is a little iffy, but brilliantly shot)
Ichi the Killer
Das Boot
Pan's Labyrinth
Banlieue 13
Amelie
City of God & City of Men
 
If you fancy going back a few years: Les Diaboliques. And please G*d stay away from the awful Hollywood remake. All the others I can think of quickly have already been listed.

Nothing like throwing someone in at the deep end. However, if you plan to actually like foreign films I'd leave Goddard until quite a lot later.

Worth watching regardless of the circumstance. Counter cinema is pretty interesting to watch, if only to show a different side to cinema.

It'd be silly to "dislike" foreign films on the basis of, well, anything really. Certainly a lot of Goddard's stuff is deliberately unlikeable, but still vital to any film fan, I feel.

True, but people do exactly that sort of irrational thing. You'll notice I didn't say don't watch Godard, I said leave him until later. If nothing else it puts his work in perspective. If someone was new to reading you wouldn't start them with Joyce.

I understand your point, and I'm well aware that you said leave him to later as opposed to don't watch him at all. But I think it would be an interesting watch for anyone regardless of what their taste is.
