That’s a good list right there. I’m assuming you’re a Tarantino fan like me? I highly recommend Dog Day Afternoon and Harsh Times if you’ve not already seen them.
One movie that I believe went highly unnoticed was Maine Ghandi Ko Nahi Mara (sp?) which I thought was one that would pull the attention of a niche crowd at least. Have you seen it?
@P:
Ya, I like Tarantino movies. I’ven’t actually seen the two movies. Will check them out.
I’ve seen MGKNM. It deserves a mention here.
I suggest to watch “Lives of others (2006)” – German movie…
I have a doubt here….How do you remember all those names…Do you really note it down on the paper when you see them ..and have you been doing it since the time you saw your first movie ?
@Eti:
It’s easy when you really like a movie so as not to forget it. I just make an entry here after I watch a movie. No, this list doesn’t contain all the movies I’ve seen till date ‘coz not all of them were noteworthy.
hello. !! wow !! thats quite an awesome list u have….would u also be able to help recommend where I could download alteast some of these movies
typically, am looking for trainign related stuff like “scent of a woman, ” Ek ruka hua…”, “Maine gandhi ko…”, etc…u get the drift i suppose..
Will await a response on thie blog soon !!
Cheers and happy viewing till then !!
@Chitra:
I usually buy them. You may try out some torrents. Else, there are sites where you can watch them online. Google it up.

“Jackie Brown” by Tarantino is the best Tarantino movie. In my opinion, it almost surpasses Pulp Fiction. “Vansh” is also one of my fave!
Btw, Tarsem Singh made an movie?!. All i knew that the famous video “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M is directed by some Indian called Tarsem Singh, which got banned in Ireland. Now Im looking forward to watch “The Cell”. Thanks!
