Salama Wote,
In the process of putting together the Swahili bookstore ( http://research.yale.edu/swahili/learn/store.html ), I started looking for movies that have Swahili dialogue. I discovered that the list on IMDB ( http://wapurl.co.uk/?O76TLZX ) is really bad - it overlooks a lot of movies that do have Swahili dialogue, and it mentions a lot of movies that in fact have no Swahili at all.
I'd like to build a better list, and perhaps put it on Wikipedia, as well as listing all of the available movies on the Swahili bookstore so people can find them easily. I need your help, though - what movies are missing from the two links above, to the bookstore and the IMDB?
Also, do any of these movies contain Swahili? I can't remember:
Hotel Rwanda
Mississippi Masala
any Tarzan movies? (the list is not dealing with quality, just whether there is any Swahili)
Please suggest any other movies where you've seen Swahili used, and feel free to start the Wikipedia page yourself if it hasn't already been started. (Just give a link in this thread so others can find it and add to it.)
Asanteni,
MB
