Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind :cry:
most appropriate yet tearjerking airplane movie i ever watched...that's alot to say since i never cry during movies...not even those hindhi/tami sentimental ones....my excuse is i was leaving loved ones and gathered so many memories from the trip...and this movie was about losing those cherished memories..
this might offend alot of ppl on this forum but it's because of the overly sentimentalism why i just can't stand soaps!!! Argh soooo quixotic and obvious and overblown and bad acting...awww im just asking for some hate now arent i? :lol: :wink:
anyways...nah Davie you are actually a good critic..even i got swept into the media pressure of watching that awful movie...ugh...i hated myself for that....could just spent the money on a much more entertaining movie...though the graphics were real good..
:oops: Sorry Sandeep that comment was kudos for your movie criticism not Davie...but Davie has good movies too....argh! :x :x :x from what i've seen no one admits their mistakes on this forum...they always find a way around it...probably going to be booted off for breaking the rule of the playground :P

well seeing i've already made such an extensive list for english movies....i'lll just say for tamil movies every single one that was a hit at its time from Shivaji to Kamal to Rajini to Mohan to Karthik to Vijay to Ajith to Madhavan to Dhanush to etc. etc. ....that i could get my hands on i liked...just will note on the liking of more obscure 'Vishu movies', and such serious attempts..docus if you will..of kutty, kanavu meipada vaandum and daya as also in need of recognition....oddly i have yet to watch even one MGR movie....
Madhurey was the first vijay movie i could not stand to watch...i turned if off before it was half way thru...even knowing that there was an alluding to a 'weepy flashback'...i just couldn't wait for it to get better...such a letdown after the excitement of Ghillie...Quote:

I think other Vijay Movies are crap though :x . I don't like him that much. My most favs are, Vikram, after Dhil, and Surya after Kaaka Kaaka.
A lot of the good movies tend to repeat themselves in posts. :)
English:
LOTR -TTT, ROTK, FOTR in that order

Bridge on the river Kwai
Omar Mukthar
Guns of Navarone

Vidadhu karuppu
Rudraveenai
Chidambara Rahasiyam
the thought of cheaters and people who break trust is not something i feel is to be encouraged or even appreciated...it is truly sad how this has ruined so many ppl's lives...neways before any of you jump to ask what am i talking about in a movie thread...im talking about the very first time i have ever laughed so very hard at cheating...watching Rettai Vaal Kuruvi was so enjoyable though the seriousness was very much toned down...Mohan was brilliant...though im the wrong person to say so since i love all his movies.... :D
this idea has been redone so many times but has never achieved the same spark as the movie aforementioned....don't agree? you are welcome to prove me wrong :wink: 8) :D
After the LOK SABHA ELECTION, I've become a rajini fan, so all rajini movies included. Even teh upcomeing "Chandramukhi"
8)
One thing that mohan always had going for him in his movies is the music. He always had very good songs in him movies.
hence the nick "Mike Mohan" he could lipsync S.P. Bala like they were his own..but also he has acting talents as well
Somebody up there likes me
Matrix
The Jackal
Seven
Fraility
Pretty Woman
Deep Impact
The abyss
Maverick
Silence of the lamb
Yeah, I espicially like his acting in Mauna Ragam. But Karthik stole the show though. :) I"ve only seen a few movies with Mohan in it, because I was way to young when he was in his prime.Quote:

Mohan isn't a good actor! He always looks like he drank some castor oil!
Aahhhh, how can one grow up without watching Mohan's movies...Ithaya Kovil, Payanangal Mudivathilai, Naan Paadum Paadal..
:lol: :lol: I felt that when I first started watching his movies also.Quote:

Anyone see how the Superstar looks in Chandramukhi, he looks 10 years younger than he did in BABA. :D
8)
that is very good to hear...he looked awfully old and overly-egotistic in Baba
Well in BABA he was a let down, but still wasn't that bad.
In Chandra mukhi, as far as looks go, he's made a helluva comeback. :)
that is good to hear...he looked awfully old and not as humble as he usually acts...which is what surprised me ...i think my most favourite Rajini movie is Johnny...
so for u how an actor looks is more important?Quote:

The reason why he is still making movies is just due to demand from his fans. I sometimes dont like telugus commenting about rajnikanth. I think its because of their ignorance about rajnikanth.
At the same time i dont hate other talented actors. But i hate to compare one with the other. coz each and everyone has their own chatzpa
i think about 99% of our people like him
India is not gona produce such kind of personality actor in the future.
I liked Anbe Sivam!! Simple story abt a journey between two strangers with different life experiences and perspective. Of course, there was the usual song and dance in the middle!! But for the better part of the movie, I liked the strong message abt the perception of stereotypes that many of us have. Particularly Indians as a whole!!
I was hooting with laughter abt the petty thief who's all decked up in coat and suit and reads and sounds intellectual!! Till the next day, when he left our hero Madhavan with nothing but high and dry!!!!
Yes that is one of my very faves too! I find that especially our people seem to be easily swayed by a suit..or a location...or a title...shame because what usually ends up is disappointment...if everyone is seen as an individual then i guess there would be less reason to be surprised and shocked about these things....also less easy to be duped....though i have to admit there's always a chance you willl...

Davie boy :D you're taking more offense than Rajini himself would....looks are one of the things that appeals to fans...actors know this....they are not performing for select audiences only...they are performing for money...and for art but for money chiefly...it is an occupation after all...and if they pick up admirers (whoever they are) on the way then that's great as well..though i do agree on not comparing actors to each other...each has his own thing...
Davie, were you talking to me or Reena? I've said that I like Mohan movies in my earlier posts. :D
A really good movie with a good message was Ceran's " Porkallam" For those who haven't seen it, the message is that phisically challenged people shouldn't be asked for more dowry, etc. How a Drunken parent can spoil the lives of his children.
But in my opinion, I think that no one should be asked for Dowry.
Is that with Murali and Meena? :? If it is yes, I agree it was a very good movie :D i also think that one should not assume what others think...after all the protagonist should have known how is sister was taking this all....but still the message would not be so profound had it not been shown in such a way...shame even in real life that ppl have to drastically lose things to know their worth...Quote:
