I need a foreign film that will blow my mind, what do you recommend?

Not sure what you mean by blow your mind. Something with a plot twist?

Try The Secret in Their Eyes - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/

Not only it has a nice twist, but it's one of the best movies ever made.

I finally watched The Intouchables. Best movie I've seen in a long time.

Some good movies OP, seen a lot of them, haven't heard of a lot, will aquire. thanks. Will add some suggestions below.

Are you talking foreign to english language films or arthouse or both? Some of the films are English speaking and arthouse while some are not so arthouse...

but first:

There's a bunch of horror movies in there. Rec and Inside are 2 of the best movies ever made.

REC was good, nice and fun, fast paced and jump scary, but not one of the best movies ever made, no substance or depth really, some of the general "best movies ever made" include such films as shawshank redemption, the godfather, etc... REC can not, and does not deserve a place in the same sentence with such movies. Even movies I consider the best ever made, Amour, The Secret in Their eyes etc, REC does not deserve a place amongst them. FYI I really enjoyed REC and thought it was extremely well done and always recommend it.

On to "Inside", I assume you mean the french movie "À l'intérieur"? This one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0856288/ - if so this is not only one of the worst movies horror movies I've ever seen in my life, but one of the worst movies full stop ***SPOILERS*** full of annoying cliches and... what, why is the cop all of a sudden a zombie? seriously.... dafuq?***END SPOILERS***
