I am a movie buff, i admit..even though clicking pics and food are a tie in the second place. But movies. They are at the top of the list. So while on a diwali morning when after escaping all the chores, and sitting down for lunch, I sit in front of the computer and while The Doors sing, Here without you, I push in the keys to google, All time favorite movies from Time Magazine, adn this is what I find...I'm wondering how much I've actually seen, so here goes, and I have a ready made list for which I just have to refer to my blog, to ask for a rental from my Movie Library. :))
Funny thing is most movies feature between 1930s and 1960s and sprinkle a few from the1990s..wow so I guess I am going to be showered with a black and white beauty of a script, every time I call my rental guy, but then again..if he doesn't have it..the old adage comes to the rescue.."Beg, Borrow or steal" Lol..I've heard Sunny Deol has an awesome collection..I now really wish he was my friend! Those marked in bold, are the ones I've seen :)
