Wonderful movie, the Kurosawa/Mifune combo at their best! Thanks Faraaj for the interesting and informative write-up and the songs.

Oliver! 1968 Have not seen it yet...but one of Carol Reed's films, The Third Man is amongst my favorite films. Madhavi If you liked The Third Man for the superb photography and atmosphere, you have to see Oliver! Its the best Dickens adaptation (yes, it beats David Lean!), the recreation of 19th century London is amazing. No amount of CGI can match that. And the choreography on two of the lovely songs - Consider Yourself and Who Will Buy is among the best in any film english or indian..... Raging Bull (1980) A biopic, this is one of the most "mentally" violent films ever made - the central character of Jake LaMotta is truly repulsive and has been called a "cockroach". DeNiro played LaMotta with passion and won a well-deserved Oscar. For the role, he actually trained to be a boxer, entered into and won two boxing matches. He also gained (and later lost) 60 pounds for the role eating huge amounts of pasta for four months straight. That's dedication. The grainy black & white photography is superb and all the blood you see is actually Hershey's chocolate. Scorcese being passed over for even a nomination was a great injustice which led to the famous quip that "Raging Bull was the first film to direct itself".... ![]() Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W.
