Though each person has its own taste, there are certain movies which will touch one and all.. There are certain movies which are not blockbusters or not even hits, but still the movie is a good one.. Lets use this thread to share such movies..

Let me begin with these two..

21 Grams - I watched this movie recently.. Its an amazing movie revolving around 3 characters and their lives and they end up together... Manirathnam certainly took some inspiration from this movie when making 'aayudha ezuthu'.. I would recommend this movie to any 'Drama' movie lover..

Almost famous - This is an old movie (2001) and is about Music and Rolling stones.. The movie moves around a teenager who travels with a rock band to write about them.. I would recommend this for viewers who are interested in Rock music with a liking for Drama...

The Transporter(2002): very good movie. Very good fight scenes and driving scenes. No innapropriate scenes and the direction and acting is perfect.

Where's the Party Yaar?(2003): hillarious desi comedy(in English). This is one of the funniest movies about Indian people that i have seen so far.

Saw this on Zee MGM (now Zee Studio) recently... dunno if this was a hit or not...

Savior - One of the best movies i've seen. A long and hard look at war, the human side of war, seen through the eyes of an American soldier fighting in the Serbian war.

Memento
By Christopher Nolan,an amazingly brilliant modern Noir movie.this is definitely not a movie for everyone and repeated viewings may be required.one of my all time favourite.

Usual Suspects good suspense movie.

Snatch a guy Ritchie movie with Brad Pitt and Jason Statham(Transporter) absolutely hilarious movie.
Seven, Brad Pitt in the lead role this is also an excellent movie.

vingem,

Thanks.. Memento and Seven were popular movies during its time.. Memento is a classic movie and you need a paper and pen to watch this movie to retrace the scenes.. I sometimes have to do this with Tarantino movies :)

I would like to talk about a few movies that touched my heart.
1. Steeling magnolias: It is a very lovely story of a mother and daughter. The daughter's role was casted by Julia roberts and I dont know the name of the mother character but it is a very lovely movie. It makes you laugh and cry.

2. While you were sleeping: By sandra bullock, it is hilarious.

I will think about more movies that I really enjoyed and let you know.

priya :

Yes, Steel Magnolias was indeed a touching movie. Written by Robert Harling of Natchitoches, it is a moving, bittersweet story line centers around six women in a small southern town who comes to terms with life, death and marriage. It blends comedy and tragedy with stars Sally Field (Julia Robert's mother in this movie), Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts weave the variety of southern life on film.

While you were sleeping with Sandra was another one I enjoyed, the same as Miss Congeniality and Two Weeks Notice.

Others i've enjoyed watching were Terms of Endearment (a touching movie), Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, To Kill A Mockingbird (an old movie with Gregory Peck in it).....more when I remember!
