I really liked it sans the three models doing heist scene. :d:d The quirkiness of the actors and the brazen comedy, crassness with on-your-face approach of the film setup makes me laugh out loud, particularly, the squeamish effect the movie produces on the self-imposed hypocrites (we, moral and ethical indians) is what I like about the movie. That’s why it deserved a place in the list. :d :d/

Hey Wb, how you saw this film Bahar Aane Tak, made by Tariq Shah? U recall this guy had made a TV serial also for DD, something with title Sach ki Jeet ya sache ka bolbala type.
you seem to be opted Pick and choose among whole lot of films.
I would go with SK’s list, but he lists Indian films (and not just bolly, good, even I haven’t seen more than 60 hindi films in all). But he’s goofed it up with Tamil films. :o
Kamal didn’t direct Anbe sivam. It was directed by Sundar.C
K.Balachandar didn’t direct Sigappu rojakkal and 16 vayadhinile It was from Bharathiraja. And KB didn’t direct Aval appidithaan(great choice Btw). It was by Rudrayiah.
Sivaji Ganesan acted in Anda naal. It was directed by S.Balachandar (And not KB).
He also missed out J.Mahendran’s films like Udhiri pookal, Mullum malarum, and Johnny. These films should be included in the list.
Not 60, just 10 (Indian films) in my list
1) Uski Roti- Mani Kaul
2) Om Dar B Dar -Kamal Swaroop
3) Hun Hunshi Hunshilal- Sanjiv Shah
4) Ajantrik- Ritwik Ghatak
5) Duvidha- Mani Kaul
6) Amma Ariyan- John Abraham
7) Rabindranath Tagore- Satyajit Ray
8) John and Jane- Ashim Ahluwalia
9) Chatrabhang- Nina Sugati S.R.
10) (Favourite shorts) Ravi Shankar- Pramod Pati/
Kshya Tra Ghya- Amit Dutta/
Kalighat Fetish- Ashish Avikunthak.
thanks anand,omprakash,ankit,wb,sk,vinay,shailesh,shatrughan,dipankar.

RK, I have listed only those movies that I’ve watched and can never forget, the 60 unforgettable movies, for obvious reasons. Bahaar Aane Tak – I had the *kismat* of watching it twice on the same day due to peer pressure
Ajay, mate, you might want to use my list just to make sure that none of these movies figure in your final list. ;)
wb,
why do you think so?
i want to see the move
