If I have to pick a movie that legitimately changed my perception on things though it'd be Let The Right One In by Tomas Alfredson (despite there being a lot cut from the novel I absolutely understand why given the stuff the subject matter).
I hadn't really tried foreign movies before I watched that about nine or ten years ago and it is such a genuinely good film and is gorgeously shot. Surprisingly I don't hate the remake they did but they also added a bunch of pointless shit to appeal to people and cut out one of the most important parts that defined the main characters and their relationship (probably because it was too risky in America).
I still watch it a few times a year and read the book now and again.
