I myself recently watched Jack and the Cuckoo Clock heart.
I loved it for how artistic it looked and felt, it's style reminded me quite a bit of Tim Burton; it even had a very Burton-esque antagonist sharing a lot of similar traits to Victor from Corpse Bridge.
The pacing was a bit weird and the dubbing was terrible, but the characters all felt very compelling to me.
Tell me folks, what is your favourite foreign movie?
Note; This does not specifically mean movies subbed or dubbed in English from another language; or even a movie that was subbed or dubbed. Basically, what movies made in another language than your first, or movies originating from a culture apart from yours, did you enjoy?

Re: Do you have a favourite foreign movie?
Chinese is my second language but also my culture... so... I quite enjoyed Saint of Gamblers. It's this story about the (mis)adventures of a guy with powers. Only works if you understand it, because I'm not sure if they managed to translate it.
If that's not allowed, 3 Idiots (Indian movie) is my favorite, and good for a laugh.

Anything and everything by Miyazaki though. Just. Yes.
Although the live action Ace Attorney movie was pretty good, i have to say.

Re: Do you have a favourite foreign movie?
I watched a movie called Joyeux Noel twice in high school and I thought it was pretty cool. It was in French, German, and often times hard to decipher (they spoke with a heavy Scottish accent) English. Though I'm not a huge fan of the Christmas holiday I thought this movie was still pretty cool and that it covered an interesting event in history.
Another movie I had to sit through (but enjoyed) in high school was a Bollywood film/musical called Lagaan and it had some catchy music in it that still gets stuck in my head if I think about it.

Re: Do you have a favourite foreign movie?
one of my favorite foreign movies is Kung Fu Hustle. it's a ridiculous martial arts comedy by Stephen Chow, and it's a live-action film with really cartoony visuals. it's about a loser guy named Sing who wants to join a gang in 1930's shanghai and ends up becoming a martial arts master, and a bunch of other stuff happens.

Re: Do you have a favourite foreign movie?
Well, since my native country doesn't really make movies that are watchable, all my fave movies are foreign. Most of them are in English or in Japanese. I also enjoy some messed-up European cinema from Danish, French and Serbian directors. And I enjoy watching b/w movies from the early 20th century and I like German, French and Italian movies from that period.

My favorite is a french movie called Saint Ange in France, then in America its called House of Voices.

Re: Do you have a favourite foreign movie?
Oh, I got recently a few new ones after having some time looking around which are surprisingly not anime chategory:
- (American) Crimson Peak (it come being pretty close to Rinne with it going more for the thriller/psychological thriller aspects and not horror, even if it had ghosts appering it)
Chinese:
- The Mystic Nine Thetralogy - > each of the movies was brilliant ater finishing watching the series
- Mojin: The Lost legend
- Time Raiders

But the snow is blood stained,
You are the God of Death,
The Angel turns in to a Demon.
I love you even if your claws drip from blood,
Your smile is the one of a Demon on the face of an Angel
It is true...
Beauty is the Mask of Death...
