Andaz Apna Apna (1994)
Don't watch dubbed version - Not for non Hindi speaker
I watched this movie nth time with my dutch friend. We have similar kind of taste. Then I realized he didn't like the movie at all. I would like to highlight the following facts for a non Hindi speaker. The acting is intentionally over the top.
It's a spoof movie. Spoofing many of the cliché Indian movie scenes.
Do not watch if you can't understand Hindi. This movie simply can't be translated. The film have so many rhyming dialogues which can't be translated to other language while maintaining the humor. The movie has dialog which feel funny to Hindi speaker but not to Non Hindi speakers.This I realized with my dutch friend.
This is the reason I don't watch Korean comedy films although I'm a huge fan of Korean movies. The humor gets lost while translating.
Somewhere in Time (1980)
I hate it coz it made me cry
The movie along with "Eternal Sunshine of spotless mind" have changed my opinion toward Romantic Genre. Earlier I hated romantic movies. I just saw the movie. And at the end it was complete heartbreaking. For nearly 2 days I was obsessed with the movie. Thinking all the time about the love between Richard and Elise. Thinking how painful it had been for Elise for waiting 68 years. Although the romance between Richard and Elise was short. But it was very deep. The acting by Reeve is superb. Its one of the few movie which tore my heart and made me cry. The last movie which had a similar impression on my mind was Swedish film LET the Right in One. I don't know why it has been rated very low on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritics. Now I'm gonna see Casablanca(listed as greatest romantic movie on many websites).
