I've composed this list based on my personal preference and of course, I omitted a lot of movies that were just mainstream crap but I liked them, and movies that just don't translate to the Western culture. Also, Iranians aren't Arab! For the twenty-one years that I have lived in Iran as a citizen of Persian ethnicity (I'm an atheist, if you're wondering about my religious affiliations) I've had so many reasons to go to the theater.
