Census Rank the Middle-East Movies

Now that Middle-East cinema is finished (for now), how do you rank the films?

 

Oh, Incendies....I was with that movie until the ending.

 

it might have gone a bit far to the m night shymalan-side at the end there, yes

 

i like taste of cherry.

 

Waltz With Bashir was the most I've cried during a film since The Transformers.

 

Well, in a way it was sort of brilliant in the sense that

Spoiler

the brother and sister were both looking the for same person the entire time but their journeys took them down different paths of their mother's life.

But it just felt so, I don't know, over-the-top? Still a very good movie nonetheless.

 

We can't vote for The Attack?

 

WTF no 3 Dev Adam?

 

What, no Kiarostami?

 

What, no Lebanon?

 

I loled pretty hard. Bravo, Maik, bravo.

 

He does have The Cow listed so Iranian New Wave isn't completely left out.

 

It was a toss up between Persepolis and A Separation for me.

 

I recommend Ajami and The Lemon Tree. Also About Elly.

I don't know if I can count Zozo, since it's a Swedish production and more than half of it takes place in Sweden. But we're counting Persepolis, so I guess it goes. It's definitely worth seeing.

 

yah Incendies is a canadian production and takes place partly in canada so it probably shouldnt count either but it does imho

 

RANK THEM YOU NERDS

 

BUT I'VE ONLY SEEN TWO.

 

What, no Sex and the City 2?

 

Aladin

 

What no American Sniper?
