Best 5 movies of all time.

I have been recalling the best 5 movies, I enjoyed watching so far. This is absolutely my personal rating out of all the ones I watched. There are even too good movies, but these are the ones I enjoyed a lot and willing to see again and again. Here goes the listing.

#1: Braveheart (1995) – The most touching movie.

The first thing in the movie that grabbed my attention is theme music. It is Bagpiper music with an unknown sadness. Then the dialogues – most bravery dialogues I ever read. And, then, a beautiful love that lasts only for short time. Very much liked the hero’s real brave heart that continuously fights for freedom. As expected the hero is killed, but his braveness is portrayed over centuries.

#2: Nayagan(1987) – Tamil version of GodFather

All glories to Kamal. I would rate that is a superlative performance of Kamal, out of all his actions. Movie is a complete depiction of a Don’s life right form his childhood to old age. With Maniratnam’s rain drop dialogues, the movie is one of the unforgettables in my life.

#3: Thillu mullu (1981) – Laugh out Louder

Actually, I watched the complete movie . The movie is 27 years old, but still I break out in laugh while watching it. There have been lots of full length comedy movies, but they still stick to formulas like – fights, sentiments, and etc. This movie is a clear exception – I couldn’t see any fight scene or serious scenes going in the movie. A complete full length comedy and happy ending.

#4: Anbe Sivam (2003) – Unhappy to hear it is not a hit!

Frankly saying, I didn’t watch the movie completely. But found it so good. I don’t understand why people thrown out this movie to go as a flop. I have not watched any such movies even in any other language. One really needs to be educated or to have lots of common/social sense to understand Kamal’s movies. He should have been very successful actor, but because of little complex stuffs in his movies, they are not hits! I am really unhappy to hear this movie was not a hit!

#5. Jurassic Park (1993) – Till date Thriller

I was a child when I watched this movie first time. It was a big thriller for me at that time. I still feel the same thrill ness when watching this movie even now! Thereafter lots of movies came out based on Dinosaurs and its kind of animals. But, they are not that good to compare with the former. The best thing about Spielberg is, he has been the first guy to make different skins of movies for firs time. Jaws, Star of Wars and this Jurassic Park are samples. I still love the sceneries and the island kind of landscapes coming throughout the movie. I still do not miss Jurassic Park, whenever it is played in TV channels.
