Movies that have impacted us and stayed on our all time favorite list

Suspense - Kaun (Hindi)
Romance - North 24 katham (Malayalam)
DDLJ
Comedy -Death at a funeral

 

The movie which impacted me a lot is
JAb we met (Hindi)
when I was in a very cornered situation, I saw that movie accidentally. Really I learnt how to handle situations cool from that movie.that heroine will be very clear in her logic. "Whatever I decide, consequences are mine, I live my life". I follow that in my life
even now, when I feel stressed, I watch that movie kanden kaadhalai (Tamil) and feel very much relaxed.
Thanku for this thread, this is my first post, so don't know whether I have written properly

 

Most of them saying 'Sound of Music' ..... it is a very sweet movie yet very deep.

They once made a remake in Telugu "Rao gari illu"...but it only covered the romance and the other woman subject...It actually missed aspects like the fun-nun, making an escape (from Nazis) and teenage-love aspects from 'sound of music'. It made a good hit in telugu but audience shd have seen the real one, more worthy movie.

 

my list would be
life is beautiful.... some scenes between father and son in a Jewish camp made my eyes wet.
the shwashank redemption again emotional relation between two prisoners...i liked the short story by Stephen king
shutter island book is also good
to kill a mocking bird liked book also
to sir with love wow both book n movie
the help
* actually when i started making my list here i found that i liked the movies which i had already loved while reading the books.

 

So many good old movies... Recently in Hollywood, Inception, I liked the concept, I love Leo...;-)

in Indian movies...few Tamil movies... Mysskin movies..

 

American Beauty, Scarface, Driving Ms. Daisy and Usual Suspects - these three Hollywood, I never get tired of watching!

Hindi - I am a big sucker for Bollywood gangster type movies. Maqbool is an all time favorite, with Omkara a close second. I am very eagerly waiting for Haider... obviously Vishal Bharadwaj is a favorite director of mine! Apart from these, Aavishkar (Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore), Alaap (Amitabh and Rekha), Abhimaan (Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan) Chashm-e-baddoor (Farooq Sheikh and Deepti Naval), Masoom (Naseer and Shabana) and generally all of Amol Palekar's movies are very close to my heart.

Tamil - Avargal is an all time favorite, for dealing with a subject that was so bold during its time - a working woman, divorcee, single mom... I really like Sujata. And thalaivar in a negative role is just great! Mahanadi, Gauravam, Anjali, Subramaniapuram, Neram are all favorites!

 

Oh yeah.... the movie was when I truly fell in love with Sanjeev Kumar for being so handsome!!!

Though Kishore Da's musafir hoonh yaaron was probably the more popular tune, my personal favorites from the movie are beeti na bitaaye raina and the mitwa bole...

 

'Aitraaz' enacted by Akshay Kumar, Kareena and Priyanka. I always remember this story.

Such a strong script. It would be unbelievable if some one tells this story happened to him in real life. That much complicated is the script. But the story telling way makes it very much believable while watching the movie. The Court scenes and arguments in this movie, still lingers in my mind, though I saw it ten years back.
