And should be. Hpw can you possible cover each nuance of the book in 2 hours of movie. Not possible... but yes Godfather did fair well though not the only exception.

Marlon was an Ace in true sense. <BR/><BR/>OF COURSE I have seen 'My Fair Lady', off course.

And to be very very honest I guess the movies made in Tamil and Malayalam are way above Bollywood flicks. I too have watched movies made in these two Languages (especially the award winning ones) and man they are just amazing.. Some day I will write only on Regional movies. Some day!!<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am.

Trust me, the world cinema is too huge and withot running down our Bollywood I would say there are many movies to be seen. <BR/><BR/>Akira Kurosawa (Japanese director)is a well known and you should definitely see his work.. Definitely and then there are many Dutch, Korean, Iranian, Frenc, German directors you should not miss. <BR/><BR/>I am fan of Hindi movies as well as I said and ARTH was one such movie which I will never forget. I saw it when I was just 12 or so but could not decipher it much. But then after many re-runs I started loving it. And same goes for 'Izaazat'.
