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.

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!

Some great favorites of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned here yet:

  • Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a Korean drama which follows Woo Young-woo, a female rookie attorney with autism, who is hired by a major law firm in Seoul.
  • Lupin is a French series about Assane Diop, a man who is inspired by the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin.
  • Ragnarok is a Norwegian fantasy drama television series reimagining of Norse mythology. It takes place in the present-day fictional Norwegian town of Edda.
  • Tribes of Europa is a German series set in 2074, 43 years after a mysterious global technological failure caused nations to slip into anomie and fracture into dystopian warring tribal microstates.

I second Extraordinary Attorney Woo, what a wholesome and heart-warming show!!

There’s no streaming service in my country with these titles except lupin 🙃

Streaming sucks, but not as much as plain old air tv 🤷‍♂️

Trollivier ,

If you have Netflix, you have access to Ragnarok too I think

trolololol ,

Oh true, the service I used to find what service has movies doesn’t cover Netflix apparently. What do you guys use?

lukecooperatus ,

Lots of info here about something to use that always has everything available.

trolololol ,

Oh yeah the high seas is always an option, but as my family goes it’s not convenient

Trollivier ,

Lupin and Ragnarok were pretty cool

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

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

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

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

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…

dditty ,

Cure (1997) is an absolutely mesmerizing film

Iunnrais ,

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

mindbleach ,

Hardly a deep cut, but Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is absolutely fantastic.

A master of mystical superhuman martial arts is trying to retire, but a suspiciously talented thief keeps making off with his unbreakable sword. The movie is sold on and remembered for its acrobatic and set-destroying fight scenes, and if you just watched those highlights, you’d have a decent time. But you’d miss the clever characterization, the gorgeous cinematography, the excellent score, and on and on and on. If you just want wire-fu then watch Iron Monkey. This is a movie about all the small moments between complex people. It opens with ten minutes of dialog on purpose. The combat is what happens when characters fail.

The Wave (about a landslide in a fjord) is one of my favorite disaster movies.

The Quake (the sequel) is almost as good.
