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.

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 ArsΓ¨ne 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

There's no streaming service in my country with these titles except lupin πŸ™ƒ

Streaming sucks, but not as much as plain old air tv πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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