More Movies

Here's the list of renowned movies I've enjoyed since the last time I put down the list. Why am I recording all these here? Because they have to be recorded somewhere, so that in future we can recollect (and try to watch again) some of the gems in the list. For example, last time I was going through the previous list, I felt inspired to watch Pather Panchali yet again and I enjoyed the movie a lot more this second time, free from too much indulgence in the story line. It's simply beautiful!
