Arab Movies FAQ

What are some movies that Humanize Arabs?
Most movies seem to depict Arabs as  terrorists or “hostile / uncooperative” -
The opponent ( like trying to find a European or an American in an Asiatic movie who isn’t the villain),
but most movies depicting Arabs before the contemporary era aren’t so quick to turn them into villains:

“13th Warrior”: The Arab IS the good guy and probably the only civilized man in europe.
(you see what arabs brought the world (litterature, technology, maths etc)).
“The Kingdom”: Arabs are humanized: as good as they are bad. They are the enemy but no different from the hero.
“Hidalgo” : Arabs are once again very human, good ones and bad ones but mostly good ones in here.
“Lawrence of Arabia”: We see the world at war from their side.

For depiction in the modern era I can only think of one:
“Miral”: very touching movie. Once again not so black and white .

If you include kid movies : “Aladdin” since there are no characters that aren’t Arabs.
Arabs arent criticized in any way (besides the villain of course).
