If not favorite, ones that touched you in some way.

I'll start by mentioning some movies from my mother tongue(Malayalam of Kerala, India):

Mumbai Police
A crime thriller (Came out almost 2 decades ago n was very striking for the time)
KammaraSambhavam
Political/Historic satire/drama (The main actor has some cases on him, but the movie is quite good)
Kathavasheshan
Devasuram
Conservative sigma male upper class Kerala dude getting character development. I really liked how the transformation happened in it
Maheshinte Parthikaaram (Mahesh's Revenge)
Not an action movie.

From my country, but not in my mother tongue:

Super Deluxe - A Tamil movie that I recently watched, quite unique
Enthiran (Robot), a Tamil movie
Has over the top stuff, but is fun to watch
Viduthalai(Liberation), another Tamil movie
Agent Vinod - A Hindi spy-comedy movie

The anime that I like are Hunter x Hunter, Parasyte, Samurai Flamenco, Gintama.

There are many good thriller/horror movies in spanish.

La piel que habito
REC
Los ojos de julia
La cara oculta (I think this one's from Colombia)

Shutter is also a great Thai horror movie.

From my country Murderess (Φόνισσα - Greek) from last year is pretty impactful.

Have you watched "Historias para no dormir"? It was series of Spanish horror movies, I think four or five. My favorite from that series was "La habitación del niño" such a good story! I am a horror buff and it is always refreshing to watch something that surprises me in a good way.

Oh I hadn't heard of those, added to the watch list

I didn't watch the rest after the first episode... It felt so... Forced.

I guess you are talking about the tv series? Because that was, indeed, kind of not so good. I watched a couple of episodes.

The movies, at least for me, were good in a general sense but La habitación del niño was great in my opinion.
