Okay I'm going to recommend some highly watchable classics from different countries:

Seven Samurai (Kurusawa)

The Seventh Seal (Bergman)

Psycho (Hitchcock)

The Third Man (Reed)

La Dolce Vita (Fellini)

The Exterminating Angel (Buñuel)

Whisky Galore (Mackendrick)

Les Enfants du Paradis (Carne)

Alphaville (Goddard)

The Circle (Panahi)

I tend to prefer Yojimbo and Sanjuro but you can't go wrong with Kurosawa.

Edit: Also seconding Fellini. La Dolce Vita is great.

Yeah it was a toss-up for me between recommending Yojimbo and Seven Samurai as an introduction to Kurusawa.
