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.

Dark (German/Netflix)

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.

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_____@lemmings.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

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!
