7 Movies Like The Godfather (1972)

Iranian star director Asghar Farhadi’s delicate drama deals with the complexity of human morals and serves as a perfect introduction to the rich film culture of Iran.

A finely observed and elegant Danish drama starring the mighty Mads Mikkelsen .

A Ken Loach type of vibe drives The Selfish Giant  to be an interesting mix between anger,  desperation, and the beauty and humor often found in tough circumstances (think I, Daniel Blake but with kids as main characters). This sort of contemporary fable tells the story of two friends who skip school and hustle for work from a local scrap-dealer.  As they get more and more involved with him and his entourage, the grim realities of what once seemed a way out start to cast a shadow over their lives. The script is based on a short story by Oscar Wilde, it's a beautiful, ultimately sad portrayal of the British underclass.
