My Cousin Vinny (English)
A Gem of a movie. I never tire of seeing it!!
A comedy with a twist.
2 boys from NewYork are just going through Southern US. They buy supplies for the journey from a store. Later they find that they've not paid for a tin of caviar. They think of heading back and paying for it, only the police is already after them. They end up in jail arrested for murdering the store-clerk!! They end up admitting to a crime they didn't commit.
This is where "My cousin Vinny" enters the scene.
Vinny and his saucy waify girlfriend come over from New York to defend the confused duo.
Only problem is he's just finished lawschool and he's very "popular" with the Judge.
A comedy of errors, chance happenings and great story-telling.
Watch it!!.

The Jungle Book
An all-time classic based on Rudyard Kiplings book by the same name. It's the story of a boy raised by wolves in an Indian forest. He's got animals for friends and protectors against the local baddie Sher Khan (the tiger) who's got it in for all humans ever since he was injured by a hunter....
The comic scenes are the best with Balu the Bear, Bagira the panther.... even the villains are quite funny....
We used to collect "Gold-Spot" caps for getting all the characters in the film... aah those were the days.

Snatch!!
A pacy thriller which takes your breath away. All kinds of events converge as people with different lives run along doing their things. The way their lives and even chance events weave a story into a melee' of streams.
Brad Pitt and many solid actors play their parts in this comic, thrilling, somewhat brutal at times tough movie. Excellent movie, maybe not Family stuff, but definitely watchable esp. with a bowl of steaming noodles and friends.
Top of the List, only thing keeping it a bit lower is the other GREAT movies up there.
Direction is the key here!!

Fight Club!!
Starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt this movie is about desperation, fighting for meaning and reason in a life gone mad with rote and rot!! Day and Night loses meaning and the walls start to close in on you,where you stare at the wall and it stares back at you!!
What do you do when this happens to you!!
You either curl up and die or you FIGHT Back!!.
One of THE best movies I've seen.
Edward Norton changed from a wimp with pale skin and a sorry expression into a great actor after I saw this movie. Brad Pitt is amazing.
I'm sure that the Director deserves an Oscar at least...
on second thought maybe he's better off without one!!

The Game
Starring Micheal Douglas, Sean Penn as Zillionaire Brothers having problems with their past, their fears and each other. One is divorced and lonely in a big house full of security gadgets, the other is in and out of rehab for all kinds of substance abuse.... Having everything and still missing something!!
Have things lost meaning for you? What are you struggling for? Why are you tired when you've done nothing in the Day!?
What things in life are worth having? and why don't we go after them instead of the things we do... Putting things in Perspective...
This is a bit cryptic but effectively sums up the movie once you've seen it!! The questions it raises though philosophical, the movie is anything but slow. Action packed and tightly racy, its a must watch thriller.
This is one of the movies I wish I could see with new eyes again. TOP of the list!!
