Activities

Its again a mixture of Old and New. This time some absolute gems by some great directors - old and new - were experienced.

To start off we have Christopher Nolan's low budget - "Following". Seeing it u will believe that this man is an artist when it comes to non linear movies.(Others being : Memento, The Prestige). In fact, it is his first movie.

One more first is by Robert Redford. "Ordinary People" deals with a rather unusual concept - response of different family members to a death in the family.

Then we have "The Apartment" by Billy Wilder. He is the same man who gave you "Sunset Boulevard". BOllywood has remembered this man by having this movie's plot as one of the sub plots in "The Metro".

Brian De Palma's - Carlito's Way and David Lynch's The Straight Story follow the list. Mira Nair's "The Namesake" is a good movie.

To top the list is the Oscar winning(Best Foreign Movie Category) is "The Lives of Others". A must watch movie for any movie buff. It will shake u up and redefine the underlying concept of loneliness in one's life.

Then we have one of the most famous creations of Hitchcock - Psycho. At the end of the movie if one stands confused then Hcock has acheived his goal.

One of the best lists I have or will produce.
