Some great hollywood movies.

In past few days, I have watched quite a few old hollywood movies and they really proved why OLD is indeed GOLD.

My choice of movies in not very good, and more often than not I don't agree too much with the critic's ratings; I have loved a movie called august rush, while movie like million dollar baby or Goodfellas were just fine for me.
Luckily this time, our thinking matched, and I am sure if u watch these movies, you will feel the same.


Casablanca : This 1942 classic, is considered to be the best american romantic movie of all time by AFI,is ranked 11 in imdb, is considered to be the best screenplay ever written by the Writers' Guild of America, and has won 3 oscars (not that they matter much to me) and all for the right reasons.

Right from the oh-so-famous screenplay, to the great acting by all the star-cast and how can I miss the stunning beauty of Ingrid Bergman.

My verdict : A beautiful story which unveils itself every fifteen minutes, a lovely classic. 8.5/10

Who should watch it : Every-one who loves romance, who believes in the age old saying of most beautiful things being the simplest of all.

Who shouldn't watched it : For whom hollywood is all about, action, pace and famous stars(presently famous).


Rocky : A 1976 cult movie, which is the perfect example of how an underdog can give the best a run for his/her money.
Sylvester Stallone is almost perfect in the role of Rocky Balboa, the cool, composed and friendly chap who is a boxer of high reputation, one who NEVER accepts defeat, as he says in Rocky 3 " To defeat me, he has to kill me". It may not be the best movie on boxing but it surely is among the most beautifully made inspirational movies (though its considered to be more of a sports movie) the others including The Shawshank Redemption.

The whole series of 6 movies, is watchable with the first(Rocky), third (Rocky III) and the last (Rocky Balboa) standing heads and shoulders above the rest. And then there is the very famous dialogue " Life ain't all sunshine ...." One of the best dialogues ever spoken in a hollyood movie (that is among the ones I saw).

My Verdict : A decent movie, watchable for every youngster who is dreaming high and for every-one who wants to see how a man can fight against all odds, just on the basis of his will power and determination to emerge as The winner. 8/10

Who should watch it : All those who believe on themselves more than they do on luck, all action/sport movie fans.

Who shouldn't watch it : Those go by the words of critics and ratings and nothing else.
