I am preparing a 1120S S Corp tax return, and this S Corp owns 100% of a foreign corporation. Should I file Form 5471 with the 1120S or file it separately for each shareholder?

Definitely file with the 1120S.

Per the 5471 instructions, I think the one filed with the 1120S can cover the filing for the shareholders if you include them on it. Do check, as the penalties are harsh.
