[THREAD ] Legendary Quran & Bible related + Shia Islam specific related movies made in Iran .

All of these films are shown every year subtitled in English, Arabic, French etc. due to their mass appeal.

Personally, to me The Kingdom of Solomon is *chef's kiss*

I've tried my absolute best to find the best pictures possible so it's took me quite a bit to make this so please do reshare if you've watched any of the below :)
