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:

The anime that I like are Hunter x Hunter, Parasyte, Samurai Flamenco, Gintama.

City of God, (Portuguese/Brazil) One of my all time favorite movies period. Gangster/Crime lord style movie about kids running the Favelas in Rio

Elite Squad 1 and 2 also (Portuguese/Brazilian) Top notch Cop/shoot out movie really reinvigorated the Sicario and John Wick style films.

Oldboy (Korean) The WTF twist is an early stand out of what the amazing Korean producers are now famously known for.

Reminder that city of God and elite squad are based on historical facts.
