Fun Movies
1. Angoor - Smart and the subtle. Crafted to perfection
2. Padosan - Innocence and jest for life of the characters makes the movie an unforgettable experience
3. Andaaz Apna Apna - India’s Dumb & Dumber. And this movie is the original.
4. Peecha Karo - Meaningless, pointless. Great joy ride.
Thinking Movies
1. Being Schmidt -To know why Jack Nickolson is an actor’s actor
2. 21 Grams - Art of direction
3. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro - Dark. Humour that will depress because of its reality.
Action/thrillers
1. Usual suspects - I bet no one can guess the end. And while you are at it also watch Hindi adaptation “Chocolate” to see how a good movie can be slaughtered
2. Departed - Matter of fact action, no melodrama, edge of the seat thrills, spellbinding performances
3. 13 Tzemati - Disturbing. The movie makes you a character in the plot and the horror of it hits like a hammer when you least expect it.
Movies that do justice to the Book
1. Godfather - Details unnecessary
2. Black Friday - Actually better than the book
3. Sin City - It is a comic book that reads on its own. Amazingly true to the art form.
4. L.A. Confidential & Black Dahlia - Movies based on the books by the same author
5. 300 - Almost there. Mandatory to read the book before you watch the movie, its not history being shown but a book being filmed.
