Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001)
Lagaan (The tax) - definately not taxing for your nerves!
This is one movie that I am really proud of being an Indian one. A total 100% pure home-made entertaintment package. A must see for all the westners who know India mostly from those Satyajit Ray movies. It gives a totally new image of Indians even when they were not free. The storyline is paper thin with a predictable climax but its treatment is really marvellous. To sum it up its an age old saga of "weak" vs. "strong" and the weak winning in the end and so on.... Some very great direction and some very good acting make this film worth watching. The only drawback is its length are a whopping 3 hours and 40 minutes. Yep save it for a long weekend with lots of popcorn!
Lost in Africa (1994)
Great little movie
I liked this movie very much. Although this movie doesn't boast of big (or even known) names, its very charming. Its one of those feel good types where you know that everythings gonna be just fine in the end. My favorite scene is with the baby elephant part. I rate this movie at 7.5
