Egyptian Movies?

[cbrbddd]

Anyone have some recommendations? Current or not so current . . .

Singing and Dancing is good . . . but a good story is always appreciated!

I have some that are subtitled and was able to order from a source in the States . . . mostly older movies.

Are there any good Egyptian movies out there???

What kind of movie do you like? Serious or slapstick? Old or new.

Have you seen the Yacoubian Building?

Well, I do like serious movies . . . but so far the "serious" Egyptian stuff seems to be soooooooooo melodramatic . . . like one lives life on the level of a soap opera (as we call them here).

I have gotten some of the older serious Egyptian movies so maybe I have that covered for now. Oh, I haven't picked up the Yacoubian Building yet but I did read the book. I will add that to my list of movies for consideration.

Back to "singing and dancing", lol, I guess these are probably the slapstick kind, hehe. I have one with Dina and Saad without subtitles! I had that on the other day while cleaning up . . . the minute I hear some music I usually go back to watch it. I even have El Limby to watch . . . haven't put those in the DVD player yet.

Maybe I already have all I need :lol::lol::lol:

Have you seen al-Gharam fi Karnak?

Have you seen al-Gharam fi Karnak?

Yes, I have . . . and I have met and taken dance lessons from both Mahmoud Reda and Farida Fahmy (the 2 stars). Last time I was in Cairo I went to Mahmoud's studio in the downtown area and he has photos of his travels around Egypt to study dance in its native environment. They are 2 very generous and giving people and I admire them both very much.

Of course, the movie was lots of fun and I watch it now for glimpses of Luxor and Karnak . . . well, what I can't see in the film, I supply from my own memories
