DEDICATED TO ALL MOVIE GEEKS.....

I love cinema.....I love cinema not because it entertains but it's one
of the most powerful & on-your-face potrayal of art.True cinema teaches you
one simple thing-"an idea whose time has come...cannot be held back by any force".Here I have given a list of 20 movies that I have loved and admired immensely(I hav ranked them also).

20)Requiem for a dream(2000)-both addicts & non-addicts must watch it,it'll touch u in the gut

19)Strangers on a train(1951)-one of alfred hitchcock's best works,njoy the train ride with a psycho

18)12 monkeys(1995)-this bruce willis/brad pitt movie is one of the best sci-fi thrillers u'll ever get.Infact it goes beyond normal sc-fi

17)Pursuit of Happiness(2006)-pick up this movie wen u r in most depressed of moods,believe me it works.Will smith at his best

16)Malena(2000)-the desperation of a nation...the desperation of a woman.Nowhere else u'll find a more convincing potrayal of adolescent fascinations

15)City of God(2002)-a milestone in cinema,story of two brothers in slums of Rio in Brazil

14)Ocean's 11(2001)-one of the most coolest and smartest because it doesnt pretend to be...if u love con,see this one

13)The thin red line(1998)-nobody wins a war,we all lose ...the story of moral battle of a soldier

12)DEV D(2009)-bollywood comes off age finally,anurag kashyap deserves kudos for attempting this daring and "from the heart" venture...for wanting to re-tell a classic in contemporary times

11)The pianist(2002)-tale of a jewish pianist's survival against all odds during nazi invasion of Poland in 1939...highly captivating

10)Kuch Kuch Hota Hai(1998)-u know u are in love wen...KKHH,it's so fresh and innocent that it seems timeless to me every time I watch it...atleast one thing bollywood has mastered - EMOTIONS

9)WALL-E(2008)-best animated movie I have seen in recent times...higly emotional robotic love story...u'll love it

8)DDLJ(1995)-the defination of love personified and frozen in time forever

7)Silence of the Lambs(1991)-the biggest fear that u hav is....the demon living inside u

6)Braveheart(1995)-life and love of a scottish freedom fighter,William wallace...it has my favourite movie soundtrack of all times

5)Rang De Basanti(2006)-the only film that made me think that bollywood has finally matured at last

4)The Shawshank Redemption(1994)-fear holds u a prisoner...hope sets u free,absolutely amazing work of art

3)Schindler's List(1993)-cinematic masterpiece by Speilbeg,set during WW-II wen a Nazi businessman saves thousands of jews from the holocaust.One of the best xperiences on celluloid

2)The Dark Knight(2008)-how can a movie be so flawless,I hadnt not xperienced such greatness in cinema in recent times.The sheer scale of the movie will blow u away....and offcourse u'll not forget Joker for a long time...."u either die a hero or live long enough to see urself bcom the villian"

1)Lord of the Rings Trilogy-i.e the three crowning jewels when it comes to cinema
LOR-fellowship of the ring(2001)
LOR-the two towers(2002)
LOR-the return of the king(2003)
Some movies cant be described in words.See it to believe the power and influence of celluloid magic


I shall be very grateful if all people who go through this....suggest some grt movies from their own personal collection
