Movie bug

Watching movies....sitting in front of something for 2 hrs.Pretty boring if u had asked me 5 years ago.But then Kgp life is special .It teaches u a lot......and one major things i learn t was some movies r downright brilliant ...they r reflections and presentation of great ideas.And that inspires me write this blog...a description of my top 16 movies(16 coz of all the great movies these are which i can watch and watch again)..Of course there will be several movies in the same rank (was real confused :)) )

Rank 16 : Blade Runner - Always big fan of cinematography and presentation.Blade Runner excels in both.And it has that underlying theme of human future and his unsuccessful try to be god.That is indeed something to ponder about. Dialogs are deep ....and it even masks the over simplicity of plot ....but never mind its an amazing amazing movie

Rank 15 : Monty python and the Holy grail - Never knew comedy could be so fun.But this is one movie that incorporates all kinds of comedy and does it with scintillating brilliance from the absurd comedy to the sarcasm to all the underlying references of the society.It is a movie where I couldn't stop my laughter...

Rank 14 : Donnie Darko - No question about it .Its a masterpiece. Combining sci-fi with philosophy is no mean thing.And the acting is outstanding.Add to the fact the whole concept is itself so mind blowing.

Rank 13 : The seven Samurai : I'm no movie critic but i felt that this movie is a perfect one.It really teaches how to make a movie perfectly.Somehow as i watched the movie the silent swordsman among the seven became my favorite especially when he sacrifices his life.I haven't seen a movie with a better plot ..thats for sure..

rank 6 : Of course a big jump 13 to 6 ..That owing to the fact that there are several movies in the same slot each belonging to a different genre and i really could not decide...

Shaw shank Redemption : The movie is full of unquestionable win material and the catch phrase about hope is outstanding.That for was the highlight of the movie,human triumph over all odds is really what many people need when they r in despair and this movie depicts that handsomely.

To kill a mocking bird : Well concepts aside the innocence of the kids when the adults kept on babbling about the case was what makes me rate this movie so so high.It was an experience to watch this masterpiece.

Wild strawberries : Another of bergman's philosophical movie but this time with It dealt with the mystery called life.The sweetness of the movie really blew me away

Spirited Away : Really Miyazaki outshone himself with this masterpiece thats all i can say . So many brilliant themes are dealt in it but with so much simplicity that the movie made me watch all miyazaki movies.

Mononoke Hime : And that brought me to this one.Somehow i can never forget the music and cinematography .It is really outstanding.

And then the salutation to Kubric

2001 a space oddesey : Really what a movie .... The whole philosophy behind it is outstanding .The deep hidden meaning for each and every scene .My god the movie blew me away.

A clock work Orange : Wow one of my favorite topics...Evil ...This movie goes in depth of what is evil And it really answered some brilliant questions.

Rank 2 :
Sin City - Its as if God made this movie.The movie is another name for brilliance if u ask me :)
the narration was actually a high factor for it being so good ...but the acting , the dialogue the cinematography ....It was really a treat to watch this marvelous movie

Pulp Fiction - I would say this is a movie that added a new genre of movies that i could watch..And that is Pulp Fiction genre :).It was so so amazing

Good Bad And ugly : Ohh the music and the final scene it self is good enough to take this movies to spot number 2 as far as iam concerned.The whole beauty of the movie is its simplicity of plot and yet the story keeping us rivetted to the plot.And the acting ...By all means the three stars were outstanding.

Pan's Labyrinth : I heard this one got 20 mins ovation in cannes. But then it deserved it.Fantasy with reality Is some acheivement.But the theme was what made this movie special ....Innocence has a Power evil cannot imagine ...truely thats what the movie was all about...

RanK 1 : Anybody who knows me will easily guess this one . Its LOTR - lord of the rings...and i just included all three of them here :)...But really what a movie ...The whole thing kept me Stunned.And really it was genuinely saddening to know there would be no fourth part :)


And those are the movies that really touched me ....and inspired me .....this is really not a review ...but really a tribute to all the kgp times i spent watching these movies....(actually i was watching one eps of southpark - Imagination land part 3...where kyle says imaginary character like popeye harry potter make more impact on us that many real people...I think the same goes for movies ...and that is my inspiration for this blog :) )..
