As far as other cult foreign movies, I've probably too many to think of off hand, but would start with all of the Tarkovsky films, which are some of the only ones i've revisited numerous times. (don't know if they are of cult status though- anyone who is a fan of the original Solaris happen to see the remake/comments?)
I saw soderbergh's solaris when it was released in france as i was very curious about what this director would do with the tarkovsky movie. Solaris was tarkovski's response to kubrick's 2001 and is a long and often (imo) boring yet poetic movie. * i personaly would favor "stalker" or andrei roublev" by tarkovsky * Soderbergh's cover is mostly of a psycho-drama framed on george clooney's character with an awful sci-fi like score - could have been entitled "g.clooney in space" ;-) This said, i quite enjoyed soderbergh's solaris although i thought it missed the point that would have made it a 'classic'. Worth watching on dvd
