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.
Hmm, if I sort my Letterboxd watched list by my highest rating, the first non-english movie to come up is Parasite. I don’t think that’s actually my fave, but it’s up there.
I liked Monkey Man, best non-english language movie I’ve seen so far this year.
3 Idiots, just like anyone who’s gone through engineering school and has seen it.
Seven Samurai and Rashoman
