I was about to tell you and encourage you to watch "The Message", when I read Ahmad's comment & smiled because I share him his exact feelings about Arabic movies; I don't watch them;) Yet I'm willing to watch 'The Message' anytime. It comes in two versions; one in English & another one in Arabic. It's epic and unforgottable Walter, with a great soundtrack that puts you in the mood for such a story. This movie was released 38 years ago; It's my age :)

The Kite Runner : about life in Afghanistan

Slumdog Millionare: about life in India

Ask Tesadufleri Sever : love story, Turkey

You're always welcome Walter :) 

Here's another one I recommend for you, it's an Indian movie but not the typical type of musical Bollywood movies, this one is really different and no matter how many times I watch it, I'm always willing to watch it again; an excellent story with a very beautiful soundtrack and of course showing "Taj Mahal" in it made it even better :)
