American Beauty (1999,  R)
American Beauty
I think this is the best movie i've ever seen.Its potrayal of the life of a 42 year old man(Lester Burnham) in modern suburban America was deeply human,especially his mid-life crisis.The Screenplay,Cinematography,Soundtrack and performances were all top notch(no wonder it won Best Picture).My favourite character was actually Carolyn Burnham,who was very disturbed within but yet humourous!Unique with its surprising twists,dark humour,mystery.etc This is a flat out masterpiece.Look Closer!!!

Monster's Ball (2001,  R)
Monster's Ball
For the only Movie soo far to win an African-American Lady the Best Actress Oscar,i was definetely compelled to watch this movie.A dark drama with romance undertones,it shows how two people from different worlds bonded due to their common sense of loss(Hank and Leticia both loosing their sons).I was actually more impressed with Billy Bob Thortons acting and felt Halle Berrys performance was at her best in the legendary sex scene......

There Will Be Blood (2007,  R)
There Will Be Blood
Well,this is not exactly what an average movie watcher looks for in a movie!But its quite an intelligent movie showing the sruggle between religion and ambition.Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano were brillant especially Paul Dano as a hypocritical pastor.This might be a critics delight but it didnt really work for me.
73
Juno (2007,  PG-13)
Juno
To say that this movie was overrated is an understatement!I mean come on,the script was kinda lame,the sarcasm(on Ellen Pages part) was offpoint,there was no WOW factor in her acting....I was really dissapointed :-(
74
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958,  Unrated)
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
I just watched it this night.The tension throughout the movie was soo thick that you could'nt cut it with a knife!!!Believable,moving performances from both Newman and Taylor...
75
Michael Clayton (2007,  R)
Michael Clayton
Well it was quite a brilliant Law drama, however to fully grasp this movie you have to watch it with subtitling because the dialogue was with too many unfamiliar terms for a layman and you also need to sit down and fully concentrate.Tom Wilkinsons completely stole the show with his performance which i think was more intriguing than that of George Clooney...
76
No Country for Old Men (2007,  R)
No Country for Old Men
In my own opinion this movie was just saved by Javier Bardems creepy character,other than that this was just an ordinary western film(Tommy Lees thick country accent did'nt help).I really did'nt get any message from this movie and the end was just awful!
77
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007,  R)
78
Little Miss Sunshine (2006,  R)
Little Miss Sunshine
Deeply human comedy drama about a disfuctional family taking a road trip as they discover that "blood is truly thicker than water".
79
The Departed (2006,  R)
80
Ghost (1990,  R)
Ghost
"Ditto",my most memorable quote from this movie.Ghost combines romance,drama,fiction and comedy-thanks to the lovely Ms Goldberg,who won a 1991 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role.I also loved the clay making scene CLASSIC.
81
Pulp Fiction (1994,  R)
Pulp Fiction
A cult classic!!!2 thumbs up!
82
The Last King of Scotland (2006,  R)
The Last King of Scotland
Forrest Whitaker delivers a solid performance in the potrayal of the sadist,humanflesh-eating and sometimes comical past president(dictator) of Uganda,Idi Amin.Though this Movie is only about 60% historically accurate,it explores another side of Idi Amin i.e his relationship with his personal physician,Scottish born Dr. Garrigan ,from Idi Amins initial fascination with him,chronichling down to his immense hatred for the Scot,Last King of Scotland was definitely worth all the Hype!
83
Little Children (2006,  R)
Little Children
First of all seemed to me like a "Desperate Housewives" wannabe movie,but i quickly got drawn into the movie.The use of a voice over narrator was also very good.Satirical,yet deeply human and disturbing,a twisted look at the boring lives of married couples and the life of a pedophile played suberbly by Jackie Earle Haley.Great acting by Kate Winslet also,but i felt Jennifer Connellys screen time was too limited!
84
Blood Diamond (2006,  R)
85
Closer (2004,  R)
Closer
Artistic movie potraying the complex interwoven relationships among the lives of four people.I call it "Verbal Porn",cause their dialogues and arguments were extremely sexually explicit.Good Ensemble Cast.
86
Set It Off (1996,  R)
87
Sideways (2004,  R)
88
Atonement (2007,  R)
Atonement
Excellent Cinematography,Brillant Score,Great Screenplay....It started off really well at the begining,then got a bit boring and confusing in the middle,however it got to really brilliant ending.This was definitely a unique twist to a "romance'' story.
89
The Silence of the Lambs (1991,  R)
The Silence of the Lambs
Ok,the 1st time i saw this movie,i was very impatient and could'nt really appreciate it.However,the 2nd time i saw it,i was totally blown away....Anthony Hopkins was BRILLANT as Hannibal Lecter even though his screen time was less than 20 minutes!!!I also love how the title was derived.Great Movie....
