April is going to be catch-up month on the blog, and I think I could squeeze in a project that's based on stuff I've already seen! In fact, that's EXACTLY the kind of project I need :)Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-6265769255112606002009-03-31T00:16:00.000+03:002009-03-31T00:16:00.000+03:00Beth - Well, "must own" is a pretty straight forwa...Beth - Well, "must own" is a pretty straight forward concept. I'm imagining a rich stranger coming up to me, asking what they should buy in order to build a 50/25 movie Indian film catalogue. After I would let them know about my limitations, they'd be all "oh your taste is perfect, just gimme a list!" and after that, I would craft one. Also, considering my own collection, I have films that I might not absolutely adore but I like showing to people.. Or have thought about showing to people. It's nice to have a varied library. But make your own calls on how to define "must own" if you want!<BR/><BR/>ajnabi - All with time. I started crafting my own and even just getting to those 25 is quite difficult..<BR/><BR/>JJC - Good luck with it!<BR/><BR/>dri - I've heard good things about it and I adored her in EHT.. I'm pretty sure when I get to Pinjar, I will like it.<BR/><BR/>Filmi girl - Let's do it, yay! :Dveracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-15714280014429202142009-03-30T23:21:00.000+03:002009-03-30T23:21:00.000+03:00I'm with Beth!

It's such a strange uncomfortable film and, even as a rabid Urmila fan --- yes, I adore Rangeela, hee --- I'm never sure if she's doing a good job or overacting terribly. <BR/><BR/>But oh yes, I'd own <B>Yuva</B> purely for Abhi and Rani's story. My god, that was so good. <B>Black</B> is too bloody painful to go through more than once, I reckon, and surely movies you own should be movies you could watch over and over again. Hmmm ...<BR/><BR/>But oh yes, definitely looking forward to a personal top 50!drihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500666765498757164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-25981782895328247722009-03-30T01:43:00.000+03:002009-03-30T01:43:00.000+03:00i agree with most of the list, but im def making m...i agree with most of the list, but im def making my personal top 50 right now!JJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199421770341706988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-45824441356609159482009-03-30T00:24:00.000+03:002009-03-30T00:24:00.000+03:00I remember Nae of The Bolly List saying that Range...I remember Nae of The Bolly List saying that Rangeela's one of her faves. At least I think I do. Anyways, I could probably do a top ten or maybe even twenty, but I've only seen about 60 Indian films (I say Indian because I've been watching some more Southie stuff too) and couldn't do a 50 Must-Haves except by others' recommendations.ajnabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-61180529893159604852009-03-29T19:17:00.000+03:002009-03-29T19:17:00.000+03:00I would gladly participate in any such list - tell...I would gladly participate in any such list - tell me what I'm listing and the criteria for choosing and I am THERE. :)<BR/><BR/>I liked <I>Rangeela</I> well enough when I saw it but I don't have any lasting impressions of it except for the toe-sucking. Shudder. <I>Raja Hindustani</I> is one I'd like to see again, now that I've seen the original it's based on, which I disliked (and would also like to see again to try to better inform my criticisms of it).Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-10369996841324992872009-03-29T12:55:00.000+03:002009-03-29T12:55:00.000+03:00Darshit - Well, it'd be hypocritical to ask people...Darshit - Well, it'd be hypocritical to ask people to own movies you don't yourself own, or at least plan on getting so yeah..<BR/><BR/>Anita - Yes, of course one's opinions will seep through. And yeah, I'm not sure what criteria they were considering. The list is not trying to be too historically minded but no Guru Dutt movies was a surprise for me.veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-91589413566930859762009-03-29T06:43:00.000+03:002009-03-29T06:43:00.000+03:00I think *I'm* in the minority that loved Munnabhai...I think *I'm* in the minority that loved Munnabhai MBBS SO MUCH MORE than Lage Raho Munnabhai. Actually, I found most parts of Lage Raho kinda silly. Munnabhai was amazing and every scene was heart-warming, simple and wonderful. LRM tried too hard, imho.<BR/><BR/>As for the other stuff you said, a lot of those movies they listed surprised me as well. And if they were really trying to be ambitious and include older films as well, they missed a LOT of good ones. Pakeezah? Guddi? Deewar? Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam? There are like a million others I could list...<BR/><BR/>I don't really think there's a way to make a Top 50 Must Watch list without letting your subjective opinion seep through.
