I know several men who loved it, but many more who won't even watch it. I've tried.
The local cinema here kept it running once a week for over a year after its release, and in the US I believe it's the highest-grossing foreign movie ever? Of course, if people refuse to watch something, they can't know if they like it.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon grossed $128 million.
Amelie grossed $33 million in the US.
Although if we really want to be pedantic and actually use the words "foreign language" to just mean language and not production, I think Mel Gibson's propaganda film, The Passion of the Christ, stands at $370 million. That would make it, by far, the highest grossing "foreign language" film. But just by your words, "foreign movie", CTHD is number one.

You like Pride and Prejudice, so I don't know if you're an accurate judge.
