Nollywood Movies
Imagine the cheapest Hollywood film remade by a Bollywood street auteur with a will of iron featuring actors literally grabbed off the street. Welcome to the Nigerian film industry.
My mum loves watching these films. There's a premium channel on Sky that shows them. The majority involve love triangles, witchcraft or love triangle with witches performing their craft. One film I saw when I was about 10 involved a gigantic mecha-tortoise invoked by a witch to destroy her rival for some guy's affections.

one of my colleagues at work spends her lunch hours watching nollywood films
they're all called things like "Cry To God" and "Prayer of Fire" and stuff, as far as i can tell
I stumbled across Nigeria Movies on Sky
getting home drunk. I watched transfixed for two hours - although somehow the film I was watching was a three and a half hour epic. Grabbed off the street is right, but it was very entertaining in a COMPLETELY NON-RACIST WAY.
ooh, they sell these in one of my local groceries
