Which are your favorite non-English movies, series etc?

If not favorite, ones that touched you in some way.

I’ll start by mentioning some movies from my mother tongue(Malayalam of Kerala, India):

  • Mumbai Police
    A crime thriller (Came out almost 2 decades ago n was very striking for the time)
  • KammaraSambhavam
    Political/Historic satire/drama (The main actor has some cases on him, but the movie is quite good)
  • Kathavasheshan
  • Devasuram
    Conservative sigma male upper class Kerala dude getting character development. I really liked how the transformation happened in it
  • Maheshinte Parthikaaram (Mahesh’s Revenge)
    Not an action movie.

From my country, but not in my mother tongue:

  • Super Deluxe - A Tamil movie that I recently watched, quite unique
  • Enthiran (Robot), a Tamil movie
    Has over the top stuff, but is fun to watch
  • Viduthalai(Liberation), another Tamil movie
  • Agent Vinod - A Hindi spy-comedy movie

The anime that I like are Hunter x Hunter, Parasyte, Samurai Flamenco, Gintama.

Pan’s Labyrinth is a rare modern fairytale, in the old sense of the word, not the Disney sense.

Cure (1997) is an absolutely mesmerizing film

Dagwood222 ,

Classic French thriller.

“Wages Of Fear.” Four men, two trucks, a desert, and five tons of unstable dynamite. They need to get the explosives to a uncontrolled oil well fire. They’ve got nothign to lose…

City of God, (Portuguese/Brazil) One of my all time favorite movies period. Gangster/Crime lord style movie about kids running the Favelas in Rio

Elite Squad 1 and 2 also (Portuguese/Brazilian) Top notch Cop/shoot out movie really reinvigorated the Sicario and John Wick style films.

Oldboy (Korean) The WTF twist is an early stand out of what the amazing Korean producers are now famously known for.

Truffle ,

City of god was a great movie

trolololol ,

Reminder that city of God and elite squad are based on historical facts.

I put lunchbox in my watch list, it’s the one that’s pg and available where I live. I’m not up to these animations lately, though I saw Akira in the 90s and loved it.

Lots of classic films are not English, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seventh_Seal.

Your Name makes me feel nostalgia for a childhood I never had and its fucking gorgeous.

Dark (German/Netflix)

dpunked ,

Best show, period. I was happy that finally there is a story thought out from start to finish, is smart and does not hold your hand. I should rewatch it soon.

pastermil ,

Hands down.

I dont remember another tv show where we watched 10 hours of recap/explanation/theory videos on youtube before each new season.

Amazing show and my favourite part is not even how brilliant the storyline is, but the god tier casting of different aged actors for the same characters.

I_Am_Jacks_____ ,

Agreed. Some of that casting was SO spot on (Jonah in particular)

EmoDuck ,

I wanna add to that Who Am I

It’s a movie made by the same people

If you liked the mystery of Dark and are looking for something to scratch that itch you’ll love it.

I_Am_Jacks_____ ,

Thank you. Will check it out!

Train to Busan is without a doubt the best zombie movie I have ever seen.

nicerdicer ,

Lammbock

Back then (early to mid-2000s) it was considered the most popular German stoner movie (at least among my social group back then).

I loved bron|broen (remade by Americans as the bridge, but that’s bound to be lame in comparison). Great detective show set in Denmark and Sweden (? It’s been ages, don’t judge me). This is reasonably old tv series. Some great demonstrations of neurodivergence from (what feels like) a previous decade

Also Rain was a great Scandinavian sci-fi series (Netflix?)

+1 Bron/Broen. I am a big fan of Scandinavian series, and can also recommend:

  • Follow the Money (Bedrag/Deception)
  • The Killing (Forbrydelsen)
  • Trapped
  • Exit
Blubber28 ,

Im Westen nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front). A movie about WWI from the German perspective. While not 100% accurate, it does a great job of showing the harrowing trench warfare, the propaganda, and the out-of-touch militarism in the higher ranks. I highly recommend it.

A much older one: Le Grand Vadrouille (The Great Escape). A French WWII comedy about a few British pilots that need to escape occupied France. There is a little bit of English but it’s predominantly French in language. While not all movies from that age have stood the test of time (e.g. Les Gendarmes are quite racist), this one does a decent job!

Persepolis, the tragic animated story of how Iran transformes from a modern and rich country to a religious dictatorship
