Janaki's Favorite Movies
Lawrence of Arabia
PG
Perhaps the finest motion picture ever made. The sweeping camera moves revolutionized epic filmmaking. Peter O'Toole is magical and the movie is perfect in every way. David Lean's masterpiece and a clinic on filmmaking.
The Graduate
PG
Revolutionary in it's use of Simon & Garfunkel's music for it's soundtrack. A brilliant comedy that demands repeat viewings. This one of those movies that I watch at least once a year. Dustin Hoffman is perfect, Katharine Ross was never better and Anne Bancroft crafted the modern day "Cougar." Trivia: Bancroft the longtime wife of Mel Brooks, never understood why her character was so revered. In fact she was always embarrassed by the role. One word. Are you listening? "Plastics"
