I was going to suggest Paradise Now, but I see that you've already viewed it.

I'd recommend the original "The Debt" in Hebrew (older)...there is also a movie about a Jewish couple and their lemon, that I love, Ushpizin,...also in hebrew...not action-packed but very symbolic/meaningful...

In Arabic, I'd advise "Rana's Wedding"
