Must Watch !!!


The movies listed below are a must watch for me. From what I read, they are all like masterpieces in their particular genres.

I watched Inglorious Basterds last night and I really enjoyed it. Plus I have a thing for war/nazi movies and books. I loved reading the ones by Leon Uris – like, Mila 18, Battlecry, Exodus, Trinity…….

So i decided, why not make a list of some good cinema, club it into  genres, and try n watch as many as I can 🙂

Genre: World War II / Nazi

  1. Where Eagles Dare (1968) : though I saw this when I was pretty young, I’ve forgotten almost all of it. so this one’s gonna be a memory refresher!
  2. Come and See (1985)
  3. The Pianist (2002) – I haven’t seen it yet.
  4. The boy in the striped pyjamas (2008)
  5. Au revoir les enfants (1987)
  6. The Counterfeiters (2007)
  7. Downfall (2004)
  8. Army of Shadows (1969)
  9. Nuremberg (2000)

  1. In Bruges (2008)
  2. Road to Perdition (2002)
  3. A Bittersweet Life (2005) – south korean
  4. Blast of Silence (1961)
  5. The Killer (1989)

    1. Hi Deb,

      These Koran movies sound very interesting and I’m sure they’ll make for good cinema. I will try n get my hands on them too 🙂

      Schindler’s List and Life is Beautiful are like the cult films on the Nazi regime and I’ve seen them too. So I thought I’d look for cinema other than these 🙂
      Black book i haven’t heard of so will check it out too.

      These days I’m back to my books. I think I’ve read about 15 since feb this year….hehehehe….no prizes for guessing why! 😛
