Movies: Best Movies in Catalan(Català)

Catalan ( KAT-ə-lən, -⁠lan or KAT-ə-LAN; autonym: català, Eastern Catalan: [kətəˈla]), known in the Valencian Community and Carche as Valencian (autonym: valencià), is a Western Romance language. It is the official language of Andorra, and an official language of three autonomous communities in eastern Spain: Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Valencian Community, where it is called Valencian. It has semi-official status in the Italian comune of Alghero, and it is spoken in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of France and in two further areas in eastern Spain: the eastern strip of Aragon and the Carche area in the Region of Murcia. The Catalan-speaking territories are often called the Països Catalans or "Catalan Countries". The language evolved from Vulgar Latin in the Middle Ages around the eastern Pyrenees. Nineteenth-century Spain saw a Catalan literary revival, culminating in the early 1900s. ()

Catalan is spoken in France, Italy, Spain and Andorra and 453 movies (between 1927 and 2024) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Spain (363). Popular genres for Catalan movies are Drama (206), Documentary (89) and Comedy (67). Black Bread (2010), Alcarràs (2022), Heroes (2010), The Odd-Job Men (2021) and The Volunteer (2022) are among the best known & most successful Catalan movies.
