I had compiled a list of movies-to-watch-when-you're-feeling-bored-cause-you-gotta-watch-them-before-you-die-else-your-life-had-no-meaning sometime back, but never got around to posting it.. and then of course, I forgot all about it. Recently, Aquila had asked me to suggest a movie, and I remembered the list. I took it out, dusted it, and now i'm putting it up. I haven't seen some(say, 30%) of the movies myself, so dont blame me if you don't like it - just know that whoever recommended it did so strongly! All additions are always welcome. Happy watching! :-)

If going to have spaghetti westerns, put Kurosawa there too.
I've only seen one of your "serious" movies. And what do you mean by a not-so-serious list if you put A Few Good Men in it?
hey wers About a boy? love actually!!
and erin brockwich... :(
i think u have to rethink ur list missy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Roshan: Kurosawa? Never heard of it.. But I'll take your word for it!
@ Ess: It is a feel good movie!!
@ Aarti: I know I should've run the list through you before putting it up! :-P
"Kurosawa? Never heard of it"
:-O
dear chitra, do feel free to drop in and borrow any dvd/hard drive you might find at my place.
A walk to remember ?? *flabbergasted*
kurosawa aint a movie! or is it?
@ Sido: A walk to remember was suggested by a friend.. I don't think I've seen it myself. As for Kurosawa - sowwie *looks guilty*
Oh please. A walk to remember is as lame as they get. I mean, she has leukemia. That's Ninaithaale Inikkum but with high school kids!
And A few good men is a feel-good movie?! Because Tom and Demi hook up at the end?
@ Ess: Refer my reply to Sido. Since it's getting such a raving review from all of you are against it, I'll remove it from the list. Pah!
And in AFGM, Demi and Tom don't hook up in the end - not really.. In the end, justice is metted out. That's why it's a feel good movie!
'a walk to remember' is hollywood's answer to karan johar ishtyle romance flicks.. 'The fountain'- now that is one hell of a love story with somebody dying in it.
I took it offf!! i took it offf!! now STOP!
this reminds me. i really need to watch more movies.
@ pseudo: :-P If only I could say the same thing.. * sighs *
this is fun.. I propose an amendment to THE LIST.. let us now remove /* generate random movie name */
X-(
great list... especially the serious ones...
hey chitra, have tagged you. check my blog. cheerio!
