Movies that I am dying to see.
I think this post will be edited and re-edited for many days to come. For some days I have been thinking of making a list of movies which are rated high on imdb(greater than or equal to 8) or which are criticall acclaimed with a great plot and are not in imdb top 250. Most of these films are foreign.
Another subset of this list would really be the movies I am dying to see,dying because I am not downloading and can't do that for atleast 2 months now. Also there is no sweet bastard in this world who would do that for me. Third and may be the foremost reason is that I have ample of time courtesy Daler Mehndi,who is going to sing in my college;my lack of ambition and bad career prospects( I am surely joining IT now).
ok,Lets start with the list,as I said this post might remain at the top for some days to come as I don't think its feasible for me to finish the list in one go. Secondly I am not giving any links and some foreign titles have been translated into English. Films which are there in top 250 have a star against them and lastly the list random and not sorted. The serial numbers do not signify any kind of rating.

If I may, I'd recommend two to start with .. Breathless and Chungking Express are just perfect flicks in my book, and I am certain you will enjoy them
thanks man,I'd be happy to start with any of them,problem is I have to hunt for them..
well it seems i have a lot to catch up with ...havent even heard of any of these..anyways all the best for hunting
you should probably check out Akira's and Ingmar's movies before the rest.
Being a de niro fan, I would ask you to check out 'The deer hunter' and 'The raging bull' first.
'Surreal' the genre itself is a heavily dosage. You may check out Bunuel's 'Exterminating Angel'.
All good choices..Wide variety like 'The Bicycle Thief', 'Children of heaven', 'Chunking express' and 'Aguirre'. I am sure you're going to have a great time. How much do I yearn to trade places and relive the first-time experience watching those movies.. Never felt better than watching a great movie..ENJOY!
Great list man!
