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.
Train to Busan is without a doubt the best zombie movie I have ever seen.
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.
Lupin and Ragnarok were pretty cool
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 🤷♂️
If you have Netflix, you have access to Ragnarok too I think
Oh true, the service I used to find what service has movies doesn’t cover Netflix apparently. What do you guys use?
Lots of info here about something to use that always has everything available.
Oh yeah the high seas is always an option, but as my family goes it’s not convenient
Cinema Paradiso
cat city
What a weird and wonderful movie. Fantastic pick
dont watch the sequel (i havent either).
but yeah, it’s a james bond type story set in a super weird garbled mirror image of the cold war. with mice and cats. and bats. and rats.
man i’m gonna re-watch it tonight. got myself hyped up :D
What I found especially interesting was how the movie showed a cycle of violence.
The main cat is being threatened by the boss cat to the point of needing to take anxiety medication.
The main cat then relentlessly bullies and injures his assistant.
His assistant then bullies the person lower on the social ladder than him… Aka his daughter…
His daughter then breaks the chain by not bullying the mouse who in turn doesn’t bully anyone.
At the end of the movie when it’s all ended and the assistant is no longer being actively harmed by his superior, we see him as a loving father again.
Brotherhood of the Wolf Kung Fu Hustle Shaolin Soccer
Brotherhood of the wolf is excellent!
Punctuation helps.
Looked fine when I posted it. It had line breaks. Weird.
Double space + linebreak
for this and double linebreakFor a paragraph.
Doesn’t help that thunder seems to eat a trailing space when you linebreak.
I’m on Connect. Not sure I’ve noticed this before. Lol
Dark (German/Netflix)
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.
Thank you. Will check it out!
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.
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.
Agreed. Some of that casting was SO spot on (Jonah in particular)
The Handmaiden by Park Chan-wook is fantastic for movies.
For books, Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, and the movie adaptation Stalker by Tarkovsky, are sci-fi classics.
Human Acts is another amazing book, this time from Han Kang.
The Good, The Bad, and the Weird (좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈) is a fantastic slapstick take on the classic western that has a lot of fun with the setting.
Trollhunter (Trolljegeren) is a great horror-mockumentary done in a found footage style.
Basically anything by Kurosawa.Trollhunter yes!
Trois Colours ( Three Colors) Blue White Red
Great films. Wikipedia info
RRR, this shit has everything. Great fights, cool story, great landscapes from all over India, amazing VFX and art direction. Great musical interludes too. Absolutely recommended.
Came to say this. The movie also won an Oscar for best original song.
Pretty intense but I thought the Seediq Bale films were really good.
