Bollywood:
1. Jhankaar Beats (Anyday, anytime...)
2. DevD (For Glum moods, and THAT uplifting feeling in the end)
3. Lagaan (The day the Underdog Won!!)
Hollywood:
1. School of Rock (Simply for the love of rock)
2. Trainspotting (To get high!!)
3. Lord of the rings Part II two towers (i know, strange, na?? everyone likes III more..)

1.The Beautiful Mind ( Russell Crowe's genius)
2.The Dark Knight(ironically i like the hero as well as the villain in this movie)

If you like movies with a little bit of story and with a clear message... you NEED to watch these
Yes Puys here goes my list:-
-Andaz Apna Apna
-Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
-Dil Chahta Hai
Here's my take:
1) RANG DE BASANTI ( hv already watched it atlest 40-50times :))
2) MUNNABHAI MBBS
3) LAGAAN
Great thread!! m a big movies freak..
I usually like watching meaningful movies and having great meanings for life:
1. A Beautiful Mind (About John Nash,I can watch it 100 times)
2. Pay it forward (guys who din't watch this, go get it today, highly recommendable....based on true story)
3. Freedom Writers (awesome! based on true story)

Hollywood
1] Jerry mcguire ( Most of the indian directors are inspired by this movie, heard lot of them mentioning its name and some of them tried to even copy some wonderful scenes from it but failed miserably!!)
2] Miracle ( True story!! Its amazing how all true stories are such great movies, i guess life is a bigger canvas!!)
3] 4 weddings and a funeral ( check out for the poem by Auden its simply amazing , copy of the poem can be read at http://www.emule.com/2poetry/phorum/read.php?7,154350)
