Israel has had a notable cinema industry for some time. Israel has been nominated for more Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film (6) than any other country in the Middle East. The majority of the films are produced in the Hebrew language, with many others in English, other European languages, and Arabic.

In Israel, movies like Mivtza Savta, Alex Holeh Ahavah, Charlie Ve'hetzi, Givat Halfon Eina Ona, Eskimo Limon, and Hagiga B'Snuker achieved cult-status.
