Probably City of God, since its whole plot is developed in my state (Elite Squad and Elite Squad 2 too, but the two are not as good as City of God, even tho they're good movies nevertheless).

It's a funny movie, and a true brazilian movie, considering that it relies on cultural artifacts local to the northeastern region of Brazil, so there's really no foreign movie similar to it hahah.
