Here's a movie that everybody should watch at least once in their lifetime: Garbage Theory/Űrpiknik. (Tldr at the end)
This movie is an absolute masterpiece, telling the story of a music enthusiast alien and a quote unquote 'troubled' college girl spending a night together in Budapest, searching for the singer Zalatnay Sarolta, meeting a wide cast of people, ranging from a nosy delivery driver to an alien with superpowers, and saving the earth from ultimate destruction.
There is just so much happening in this movie, and it's only a bit over an hour long; there's family drama, befriending dogs, a gay nightclub... everything.
It is also very aesthetically pleasing, the coloured lighting really adds to the atmosphere, and the costume designs are absolutely amazing.
There are some hungarian pop culture references (eg. clips from the movie Cat City are sometimes played, and Zalatnay Sarolta is a famous hungarian singer) but I'm convinced this movie is for literally everyone. There's character developement, sci-fi superpower stuff, humour, angst...
There are definitely some triggering topics involved (such as eating disorders and suicide) and the film also features blood and mildly graphic imagery, so if you're sensitive to any of that, you might want to give this a miss.
But if you're not, the movie's on netflix and hbo with english subtitles, and I can guarantee it will absolutely draw you in.
It's definitely something of an underground thing, a lot of people disregarded it even before the release, saying it was most likely just gonna be the general superhero storyline, however, for me, it was definitely a pleasant surprise.
Tldr: this movie might be slightly disturbing for some viewers, and some jokes might work a little better with hungarian people, but it is truly phenomenal and very, very underrated.

Above is Bela Lugosi (then going by the stage name Olt Arisztid) as Lord Henry Wotton, gloating and leering over his naive protege, Dorian Gray, portrayed by Norbert Dán, in a 1918 Hungarian film adaptation of the The Picture of Dorian Gray, originally entitled Az élet királya.
