    I thought of putting the same list on my LJ with the movies I've seen...but I realise I've seen less than a dozen of these. But atleast I know which movies to buy next :)

    What are the typical prices Madhav?

    I picked up two DVDs of Gladiator and Guns N Roses Videos at a place in koramangala (with DVD box) for Rs.300. Do you think its a good deal?

    Yes, the same list they referred to from rediff movies. Seeing Nayakan on the list was like a personal achievement :P I mean, I thought Kamal Haassan and the movie were brilliant but didn't expect to see it up there.

    Yeah, I think it's a good deal. I assume the picture quality is good and the price is Rs 300 for both, not each.

    Picked them up today morning. Will need to check the quality when I get home. Infact that's why I took Gladiator DVD without some other combinations as the guy said the ones with combinations are not good quality. And yeah the price is Rs.150 each.

    Thanks ! :)

    Ah finally, "Decalogue" is included. :-)

    I have seen many movies in this list. At the same time, I haven't even heard of some movies.

    Till this day, I curse myself for misssing Children of Paradise (1945) at the Film Club last year, for lame reasons like Too much work load, Oh! That movie is 3hrs long....

    a quick glance n i noticed you haven't bold out city of god... watch it the first chance you get... but not in a hurry.. the ending is worth all the mind-numbing mid-movie scenes and more!
