Ghost Dog- Forest Whitaker as an inner city Samurai hit man, up against the Public Enemy spouting mob. His best friend is a Haitian ice cream vendor and neither of them speaks the other's language. It works well.

I opened this thread thinking of this movie, although I'm not sure it qualifies. Since someone posted it, I'll go with...

Withnail and I, a huge UK cult classic from the late 80s. This movie doesnt have much of a plot. It's a dark comedy invlolving a failed actor and his friend wandering around near london in '69 consuming ridiculous amounts of booze, with lots of parallels to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Truly amazing dialogue.
