A new one just came out. It's called menashe. The actor is a frum person in real life.

Arranged (2007) is a movie about a religious Jewish woman and a religious Muslim woman who become friends at work. Both women are portrayed in a positive light.

Arranged is juvenile and not well researched.
Most good ones are Israeli such as fill the void and shtissel.

Stranger Among Us (1992) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105483/

It's really well done, well acted, and just a moving story. Honestly, we should all aspire to be like the Rabbi in this movie.

(I did a paper on the Jewish Father in Motion Picture in college, and this was one of the movies and the first one to pop into my head)

While shtissel is a great show, I would not say it shows chassidim in the best of light. Some of the story lines are extreme.

I watched shtissel in Hebrew. I have watched several of these stories. I watched fill the void and there was another one. I found that the basically trying to mix religious people with non-religious people and they do not show religious people in a great light they try to show that we have many kids and they try to show that the dating process in the religious community is pretty bad. I watched another one yesterday and they were trying to show about shaving how the girl didn't want to shave her here and her husband said that he wants it shorter. I cant explain it but a lot of these movies are anti religious but in a subtle way.

Did you mean the Yerushalmi community? Those people were acting like yeshivish Yerushalmis. Not chassidim.

Hey I watched fill the void as per your recommendation.
I don't know Hebrew that well. Can you explain me the ending in the yichud room? Why that depressed/upset face? I thought she finally agreed to marry him?
