Almost did it, but the list was getting so darned long.
After the Wedding is so fine...but Brothers is also very good. I dunno if I can work up any enthusiasm for the US remake. I love Jake but honestly, I'm about re-maked out. Doesn't sound like from the reviews that this new one meets or exceeds Bier's original.
Bier is one of the best working IMO. It's been a good few years for women directors: Campion's Bright Star is outstanding, as is Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and Lone Scherfig's An Education.
