Technically speaking no-one makes foreign movies, because what is foreign to you is natural to them. I know it is tiresomely pedantic to put it like that, but to put it another way... on a multi-national board (which is British in origin), the question should be which non-US country makes the best movies, not who makes the best foreign ones.
Or we could go by the Hollywood definition of Foreign, which basically means non-English speaking.
Nit pick

Afghanistan makes some killer sci-fi movies. I even hear Iraq is going to film a straight-to-Iraqi-cable movie of Saddam, with a sequel and a prequel to follow.

But a lot of people might not, Kes.
And 'non-US' is NOT the Hollywood definition of a foreign movie- that is non-English speaking ones.
So the question could, and should, have been better phrased and it is not a nitpick to remind people that this is a multi-national board and things should be said accordingly.

Germany during the silent era made the best movies in
the world. And many of these are still classics.
In recent decades, I say Italy, with the movie of Dario
Argento, and great films like "Seduction of Mimi" and
"Meditarraneneo".
Sorry for the out-dateness of my reply' movies, but I
haven't watched too many recent foreign movies.

Italian fims are some of the best imo, being a huge fan of giallo films, also Asian fims and British films, but in all honesty I could care less where a film is made as long as it's good.
But in all honesty, I gotta say that Hollywood comes out with a lot of garbage, and that's coming from an American.
