What is the biggest money-making foreign language film of all time?

Director Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ is the biggest non-English language film at the box office. The movie, spoken entirely in Aramaic, made over $370 million at the box office domestically. The Chinese action movie Crouchgin Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) is number two on the list with $128 million.
Another great foreign language film, The Kite Runner, hits DVD this week. The movie, directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, this year's James Bond movie), is based on the best-selling novel of the same name.
