Arab films have an amazing variety of genres. From films about the Prophet Mohammed to those set in Arab ghettos, there's something for everyone. Here are a few favorites. Also, check out some of the most famous Arab films. Whether you prefer drama or comedy, there's sure to be something for you. The best part about watching Arab movies is that they are always different. You'll never feel bored watching Arabic movies.

Films about the Prophet Mohammed
The controversy surrounding films about the Prophet Mohammed is often fueled by religious concerns. For example, Sunni zealots in India object to portrayals of Muhammad, saying that they will associate him with a flawed human actor. The very notion that the Prophet was human is offensive, they argue, because Muhammad never denied his humanity. In fact, he stressed that he was human like everyone else, but that he felt that the divine spoke through him.

In response to the controversy, Cineworld voluntarily pulled a film featuring the daughter of the prophet Muhammad. The film, titled "The Lady of Heaven," was released in the UK over Jubilee weekend. However, Cineworld's decision was not unanimous and not all branches screened the film. According to reports, some theaters still list the film as showing tonight. Despite these restrictions, a video from the weekend shows a branch manager confirming that the film had been pulled.

Films set in Arab ghettos
While there is a plethora of films set in Arab ghettos, none of them are particularly groundbreaking. But a new study commissioned by the Ghetto Film School in New York shows that the subject matter is rarely based on real events. Rather, it often focuses on fictionalized accounts of Palestinian life. And as the director of photography Jai Gil explains, the film's subject matter is a powerful one. It is also the first period piece in the thesis project's 13-year history, having shot in fourteen different countries since 2000.

After the uprisings in 2011 fueled hopes of transitioning from dictatorships to democracies, many Arab directors have felt compelled to tell their nations' stories. And some of them are taking on the complex issues of immigration, terrorism, and cultural mores. Producers in Paris and Brussels are nurturing films about Arab themes. The Qumra film festival has also featured several films based in Arab ghettos, including the award-winning "Hedi."

Films about Israel's invasion of Lebanon
Unlike most war films, "Lebanon" is a love story set against the backdrop of increasing Middle East tensions. It was inspired by the memories of a young Lebanese filmmaker. Oualid Mouaness grew up in the idyllic suburbs of Beirut, but a series of events led him to the country's southern border. In this film, he recounts the events that changed his life.

The film was filmed before the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006. It depicts the terror and insecurity of the 1975-1990 civil war. It is a powerful portrayal of the events surrounding Israel's invasion. The story is told over the course of one night. In the story, a young man named Toufik is out on a night out with his Dutch girlfriend, and is confronted by armed men who threaten him with guns. After thinking about a story he heard at a falafel snack bar, he decides to get revenge. Michel Kammoun is the director and writer of this film.
