no movies since the 80's didnt make your top 5?

so whats your # 1 and #2 movie since the 80's?

What was the name of that one we went to.. rass u were crying all the time

Taare Zameen Par
Dil Se
Ek Duje ki Liye (sentimental...my fuss movie as a tot)
Company (great acting)
Halla Bol (the movie was ok because not enough care was taken to enhance a great storyline but the message was powerful.)

Its certainly difficult to limit to top 5 but here is my choice

Pakeeza
Dilwale Dulhaniya Lejayege
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Aradhana
Ek Duje Ke Liye

These are movies I have seen several times and will watch again sometime in the future

I used to love Ek Duje Ke Liya .... I dont know why I dont now. But its interesting that it made petal/riya list.

i have lots but will try to narrow it down:

Sholay
Qurbani
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
Love Story

It appeal to me since the first time I saw it. It was interesting the way the parents despise each other and use that against the lovers and also the caste/language barrier. I find Kamal Hassan very lovable and endearing. The songs helped big time too.

n dance n sing, i remember 'ooee ooee', if you have time you want to post that song?

I tried once before and I couldnt find any songs from Star. Riya, you have any?

my take would be that at least every decade had at least 5 top movies that are memorable...
some of the golden oldies were great; as Jis desh mein Ganga behti hai, Nagin, Ganga Jumna-film in Bihar w/Bhojpuri, Rani Roopmati, Bhabhi, Kohinoor,Aan,Aah,Barsaat,,,,
but my fave of all times:
Mother India - dharti songs
Sanyasi-one special song
Pakeeza-all songs
Kabhi Kabhi, title song
Ek duje ke liya-tere mere beech mein
too many movies wid too much heart songs..

Pinky if we were to select the best or those that we think should have made the list any day

Those will be definately in. along with Sangam, Mera Naam Joker, Haathi Mere Saathi, Chotti Bahen, Khandaan, these were all tear jerkers, Ek Phool Do Mali, Dhool Ka Phool, and so many more.

Nazia Hassan was really good at that time, comparable to what Sunidhi Chauhan is now. Pity she died at an early age.

So true...I just typed the first good 5 that came to my mind...

Silsila was a masterpiece but I just don't like to see it....I guess it's like what happened to Pinky with Ek Duje Hum bani tum bani ek duje ke liye...

the one undisputed movie that will make 99% of everyone list is sholay.

asj..everytime I hit the movie stores...i have to get a few golden oldies with the other decades of '50s,'60s'70s,'80s,'90s B/W - Beti Bete, Choti Bahen, Hariyali our Rasta, Himalay ki Goed mein, Junglee, Mere Sanam, Professor, Bluff Master,April Fool,Pyar ka Mousam, Shagird,Evening in Paris, Night in London, Love in Tokyo,Jab pyar kisi hota hai, Jab yaad kissi aate hai, jab jab phool khili, all those Kapoors starrers w/fab beauties as Nargis,Vyjanti,Nanda,Waheeda,Saira,Sadhana,

then the mill last...do not care for these modern crap..too much skin and no talents...

RQ I GUESS YOU WILL LOVE THIS, HAVE FUN CHOOSING THE FIVE:

IF WE WERE TO LIST THEM BY DECADES AND THE 10 BEST:
MY CHOICE WOULD HAVE TO BE:

Gems from the 50's

1) Babul (1950)

2) Awara (1951)

3) Deedar (1951)

4) Baiju Bawra (1952)

5) Aan (1952)

6) Nagin (1954)

7) Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje (1955)

8) Udan Khatola (1955)

9) Mother India (1957)

10)Choti Bahen (1959)

Will bring 10 from the 60's: oh that will be very hard: As the 60's could have been referred to as the Golden Era

.

from that list "Mother India" will probably make everyone list.

Also I think that Baiju Bawra will too, as the songs from that film gave Rafisaab the push to the top.
