I've slowly begun to look more into foreign films, as quite a lot of them are really good, and even the non existence of the propaganda makes even mediocre films a lot more enjoyable.
Train to Busan (a Korean zombie movie) and Kesari (an Indian "historical" film about Muslim invaders) were both quite enjoyable. Kesari definitely had a Bollywood flare to it, with near super hero powers attributed to the Sikhs, and of course a Bollywood dance number in the middle, but the message was poignant, and it praised their own people and religion, rather than cut them down like Hollywood. I've also heard RRR is good (another Indian flick), but haven't seen it.
I also just watched a Russian fantasy/"horror" movie called Day Watch, which was probably the weirdest movie I've ever seen, but simultaneously hilarious because of how weird it was. The English dubs certainly didn't do it any favors. I prefer to watch foreign films in the native language with subtitles.
If you want a good family flick, check out an Irish movie called The Secret of Roan Inish. Wholesome with a good message, with a slight fantasy element about selkies. Another good Irish movie about selkies is Ondine, which is a bit less family friendly (language and nudity through wet clothing), but quite funny and wholesome.

If you want a weird film, "Mad Gods" will scar you.
