I am an avid movie fan....I can watch a movie in any language as long as it interests me.....I am not a big fan of chick-flicks, most of the movies that interest me are thrillers,serious drama and Horror movies with less gore. I am not going to mention movies that have influenced the whole population on Earth including me like Godfather, Matrix, Terminator, ......
Let me begin with Hollywood/International.
As a kid I still remember watching Evil Dead with half closed eyes. Now people call it a movie with Dark Humor.I still remember watching Schwarzenegger's Predator, Commando and Terminator 1 and 2 upteen times, rewind,play again and again(the VCR days).
Whenever I have a chance i still watch Predator just for the sheer thrill. Now coming to the serious movies that left a lasting impact on me. Let me begin with Shawshank Redemption, the movie taught me about HOPE. Stephen King ,the king of Horror , shockingly had written a master-piece of Drama.
Stallone or sly as they call him, gave me the courage to withstand everything in life through his Rocky series. They were truly inspiring.Then there was this movie called Courage Under Fire about Denzel Washington Investigating if a woman soldier in the army who dies in battle, deserved a medal of valor. Thats intense drama for you.
Then there are these foreign movies like Old boy(korean) which was remade as Zinda in hindi, then there is this really intense scary movie called Audition from Japan(no bloodshed or gore).
OK....let me continue this later.....
