My Personal Arabic Movie Awards:
Personal fav Arabic movie: Toyoor El-Zalam (Birds of The Dark)
very realistic and shocking depiction of Egyptian socity/politics, amazing acting by the lead actors, masterpiece
Best Arabic movie from a technical perspective: Tito
Tito is a breakthrough in Arabic movie-making standards in production. Original (very good) soundtrack, relatively big budget scenes, decent actors and no miscasts. It is somewhat weak on the drama/plot side. However, it is definately a big step ahead of its predecessor in "big-budget" Arabic movie, Mafia.
Best B&W Arabic movie: Share3 El-7obb (Street of Love)
The mixture of romance and humour in this movie is very good. The story is quite interesting as you watch the story unfold while both lead roles are unaware of the deception of each other. The movie also includes some of the best songs by Abdel-Halim Hafez and Sabah.
Best movie starring a contemporary singer: As7ab Walla Business (Friends or Business?)
The movie starts as a typical "shababi" movie. However, the plot grows into a very emotional and "political" one eventually. Thus pushing the characters themselves to mature as well. I also think that Moustafa Amar is one of the best singers when he takes on acting.
Best "experimental" movie: Tayeh fi America (Lost in America)
Unknown director, unusual selection of actors, foreign setting, large selection of foreign actors... together, all these elements make this a very "experimental" movie. However, the movie IS quite engaging. As a matter of fact, in many ways this movie seems very "Hollywoodish". Keep up the good work guys!
FINALLY - the award for best Arabic movie "critically" goes to: EL-ERHAB WEL KABAB (Terrorism and Shish-Kabab)
What can I say! This movie is possibly the best Arabic movie ever made! The very colorful collection of characters, the realistic setting that turns into a very unrealistic situation (yet highly feasible if you live in Egypt), the very funny padding... If this movie was a cake, then it is a chocolate one, with chocolate icing and fruit syrup!
