Jalsaghar (1958)
Most of these Bollywood movies are rated highly by Indian speaking peoples
Some of the Bollywood movies are excellent, but others are of little interest to anyone but India natives or language speakers.
This subtitled film (ESPECIALLY this one) is not one I would have wanted to see, and didn't deserve the 8.2 rating is had on May 12, 2007, but maybe it does to someone from India.
The the film is grainy and the topic is "corny" to me (a 'murrican).
I suggest that the ratings of Bollywood films be taken with a "grain of salt" until you have viewed several of them.
I would like to see ratings marked "subtitled version" or "original language version".
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Probably the greatest movie ever made.
Mel Brooks took practically every sensitive cultural issue of the day and made absolute fun of it. I not only laughed at every scene, but I quote literally dozens of statements from the film on a regular basis.
Men typically find it more hilarious that women, probably only because of its crudeness. I'm sure Mel would apologize for offending their sensibilities. (Yeah, right!)
