Lucky Luke: Daisy Town (1971) - witty animated Western comedy
So long, Stooge (1983) - some kind of Neo(n)-Melville
In the Beginning (2009) - Hollywood would make a stupid comedy out of the premise, but this drama made me relate to the main character
The Measure of a Man (2015) - not the most entertaining movie, but one of the most important; a movie about dignity

Camille Claudel (French language; approx. 5,000 votes)
(I don't know if this meets your inclusion criteria: L'ondée -- It's a French film but it's silent so the French language isn't spoken. It's very "hidden:" it has 90 votes.)

I'm not sure if it's a mistake or intentional but the first sentence of the intro. is repeated. I think it's stronger if it's just stated once. I'd also suggest a few minor edits in the other sentence: they're below in bold just to make them easier to see.
