This is a list which will obviously change with time but as of now these are a few of my favourite films...
1. 12 Angry men - a must watch for every film buff... one of the few movies which held my attention for every single minute.. one of the best screenplays i have ever had the privilege of watching..top moment - every single scene
2. American beauty - watched it 5 years ago and somehow its still stuck with me.. beautiful concept, amazing acting from every actor(especially kevin spacey who just makes the whole movie work) and one amazing plastic bag. top moment - the plastic bag scene and the last scene
3. Man on wire - one of the few recent amazing movies i have seen.. amazingly reconstructed an event in the past and the passion of the 'man' is something rarely seen by me in this day an age.. the passion to do something irrespective of the odds against u..top moment- him lying on the wire at that height
4. Citizen Kane - dont like the movie as much as the critics do but it features in my list for two reasons .. a) the simplicity of the moral of the story and b) ORSON WELLS - fan of his for life.. haven seen any actor (other than BIG B) who could do so much just with his voice. top moment - focus on rosebud
5. Memento - Easily one of the weirdest movies i have seen in my life. At first after finishing the movie i didnt realize if i liked it or not but after going thru the synopsis i realised how much i loved the movie. and after seeing the hindi remake whole new appreciation for the movie and for nolan. top moment - still too confused to say a moment.
6. Before sunrise and Before sunset - 2 movies which are easily one of my top romance movies of all time. The only movies which maded me believe that ethan hawke can act. easily one of the most realistic romances and again one of the best screenplays.
7. Singing in the rain - ok have to admit dont watch many musicals but doubt if any will top this.. couldn stop smiling throughout the movie. the charm of the actors, the dances the sets just amazing.
OTHERs -Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind, Good will hunting, Bourne series, Rambo(first blood only), Face off, Rocky part one, Die hard etc etc
Obviously there are hundred more which dont seem to be popping into my mind right now... bollywood list to follow some day..
