Malegaon ka Superman - Its actually an insight into making of the movie and how the local film industry in Malegaon functions. More of a documentary. Funny. Loved the scene when a passenger accidentally spits on Superman when he tries to overtake an autorickshaw on malegaon roads.


Gangs of Wasseypur
- Good watch. But was a bit lengthy towards the end. Heard the songs for the first time and found them interesting too. Blends well with the movie. Eager to see part 2.

Part 2 is not as good. Manoj Bajpai and Reemma Sen owned Part 1 though.

Ip Man - Good movie. Some damn good fight sequences.
I like the actor who played Ip. Natural stuff. Ip Man 2 is good too, although too much Chinese patriotism in it.

That actor is Donnie Yen. :p
We can see young Bruce Lee in the credits.

Donnie Yen's Wu Xia - 9/10
The fight sequences are amazing.

^^ @rhitwick just a couple of movies from the year 2000 onwards!!

By the way Four Lions is the movie which still makes me LOL, whenever I remember few scenes from it. They never fail to make me laugh. Have been experiencing same thing from the HIV-Aladeen scene from the movie The Dictator. Though the movie was strictly for Borat fans (would rate it below Borat), the HIV-Aladeen scene is epic!

exactly my thoughts Manoj's character was just too good ; though i wouldn't say part 2 is not good
its still a 10/10 for me

Part 1 had some powerful characters attempting to outfox each other. Part 2 has too many players and goes haywire. Completes the movie well, but was not as good as part 1. And Reemma Sen was a goddess in part 1. So...

hmm looks like are all lying
Tarantino lied because a slightly changed question would give a drastically diff answer (best music/ best camerawork/best credit, best non gun weapon sequence, best action sequence, best murder sequence, best car chase sequence, best title sequence etc)
Woody Allen, well, from his movies you can guess his top watched videos are pron by geographic location
Guillermo Del Toro > ultimate wannabe expected better than a bunch of dated classics that dont tie in at all with his current body of (excellent) work
Martin Scorsese - lying, because can excuse everyone else on the list, but not this one for not including own movie
most sensible list was Edgar Wright
others are too meta for me atm, need to dig a little deeper, but there are lots more directors I wud like to see these lists from. aronofsky pls. it's good we have these lists

Isn't is same with everyone? I've always wondered how awards are given to two different movies as "Best movie" and "Best Director"!
Woody Allen, well, from his movies you can guess his top watched videos are pron by geographic location
LOL...agreed.
Martin Scorsese - lying, because can excuse everyone else on the list, but not this one for not including own movie
But none would do that! None would include their creations in a list. Because he might still find 100 faults that could have been fixed in the movie. And people are just being polite. I missed Polanski and John Woo there. And, surprisingly none named Satyajit Ray! Hmmmm...
