 Top 7 Movies With Yellow in the Title

by Ryan Chase

While there are many movies you can watch on your laptop, projector, TV, and other devices, only a few have the term "yellow" in the title. In this article, we will take a look at the top movies with "yellow" in the title.

1. Dirty, Yellow, Darkness (2015)

Dirty, Yellow, Darkness is a Sri Lankan movie that follows the tale of Vishwa, a marketing executive suffering from OCD. He’s aware of his condition and takes medicine to help him manage it.

In the spirit of full transparency, he makes it known to his soon-to-be wife before they get married. However, after their wedding, things take a turn for the worse. His illness becomes unmanageable and Vishwa refuses to take his medicine.

He believes that his pee will contaminate him and his surroundings and begins to take showers every time he pees, after which he has a change of clothes.

As the condition worsens, Vishwa resigns from his marketing gig, and his relationship suffers. When his wife leaves, he realizes how bad the situation is and admits himself to a mental hospital. He hopes that treatment will get him back to good health and help save his marriage.

This movie may be sad, but it sheds some light on the struggles of those who suffer from OCD in our society.

2. Tie a Yellow Ribbon (2007)

Directed by Joy Dietrich, this award-winning movie lays bare the struggles of Asian American young women. It tells the story of Jenni (portrayed by Kim Jiang), a Korean adoptee in her 20s who lives in New York.

Trying to forget her past, she becomes friends with other Asian Americans residing in New York and eventually feels a sense of home. Then one day, her brother shows up at her door and brings back the old feelings she’s struggling to forget.

3. The Yellow Gloves (1960)

If you’re looking for a movie that makes you appreciate trust in a relationship, look no further than The Yellow Gloves.

This Greek movie revolves around Orestis, a husband who distrusts his wife and obsesses over finding signs that she’s having an affair. One such sign is a pair of lost yellow gloves (hence the title) that he later finds in a random restaurant.

While the movie may not be entirely accurate, it opens our eyes to the kinds of insecurities that exist in modern relationships.

4. The Cave of the Yellow Dog (2005)

If you love dogs, you’re in for a treat. The Cave of the Yellow Dog is a heartwarming story about Nansal, a young Mongolian girl who finds a dog and falls in love with him. Unfortunately, her father is not as enthused about the dog as she is and wants her to let him go.

With the family being nomadic, Nansal’s father believes that the dog may bring wolves that will feast on their sheep.

She decides to keep the dog hidden, and he remains so until winter approaches and the family has to move. As you would expect, Nansal’s father directs that they leave the dog behind, tied to a post. Luckily, he reconsiders when the dog saves his youngest child from vultures.

This movie illustrates the significance of pets, especially dogs, in our lives: from companionship to protection from danger.

5. Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass (2015)

Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass is a Vietnamese film that has won several awards. It revolves around brotherhood and relationships.

It follows the story of two young brothers, Thiều and Tường who have opposite personalities; the former is extroverted, while the latter is introverted. Their parents are strict, although with different methods of ensuring their children toe the line.

Thiều and Tường have a classmate, Mận, who they protect from another classmate who has a crush on her. Eventually, Tường and Mận become so close that Thiều gets jealous and fails to protect his brother’s toad from being taken and slaughtered for its meat. The jealousy grows to the point that Thiều hits his brother with an enormous wooden stick and paralyzes him.

He then realizes that Mận was actually interested in him and is filled with regret.

6. Yellow Fever (2017)

This movie provides a realistic look into the struggles of "yellow" Americans. It depicts the story of Asia, a Korean kid who was adopted by Americans and lives in New York. She doesn’t speak Korean, and New Yorkers assume she’s not American.

Luckily, she meets a man who has lived in Korea for over a decade and who helps her find her place in the world.

7. The Thin Yellow Line (2015)

If you think painting a road is boring, this film will prove you wrong. The Thin Yellow Line is about five financially-struggling men who must paint over 200 kilometers of road within 15 days under the sun.

They face danger from careless drivers, share meals, lie under a big bull sign for shade, experience a religious precession, amongst other things, all of which change their outlook on life.

While the movie may not be directly applicable to our lives, it indicates the thin line between laughter and tears, right and wrong, and life and death.
