Bulovski Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 yes they have. i suggest start with sonar kella (golden fortress) - it's a detective story starring feluda (the famous bengali detective). the issue is that all movies are not available on dvd yet. then go on to pather panchali, charulata, nayak, gupy gyne bagha byne, hirak rajar deshe, agantuk (his last). or you can just go through the list one by one - they are all amazing. but let me warn you that the translations are really crappy. more than half the meaning is lost.

Well a lot of his titles are there on DVD, its just the translations I am worried about. I'll test the waters with Sonar kella then. Thanks for the recommendation.

Ne0 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 there's a hindi movie by Satyajit Ray too - 'shatranj ke khiladi' i think. Not watched it, so don't know howz it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 it's awesome. about the apathy of people in oudh when the British are taking over. in fact that would also be a good one to start off with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked reading the detective stories of Feluda - never saw Kella, the movie, though. And yeah, Gopi gayen, bagha bayen is simply awesome. One cant help but get truly impressed by this guy's vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 ^^ sweet. gupi gyne is actually written by ray's grandfather. the whole family was composed of pure genius. Here's a list of good Ray movies - but requires an appreciation of the political and socio-economic conditions in Bengal of that time. Apu trilogy - Pather Panchali, Apur Sonsar, Aparajito Charulata - one of his best movies Sheemabaddha - actually this one is easier to relate to, portraying a bourgeois Calcutta Gupy Gyne Bagha Byne - pure unadulterated fantasy fun Feluda - Sonar Kella, Joi Baba Felunath Devi Jalsaghar Nayak Well I could go and on, but the above will whet the appetite of many a Ray fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gautam Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 awsomeee poster bro!! and even sergio leone films were awsome the good,the bad and the ugly series was just awsome I just finished watching The good, the bad and the ugly. Took me 4 days to wrap it off. The long drawn out scenes where everyone is looking around just waiting for the soundtrack to reach its climax become painful after a while. But enjoyed it on the whole. The music is simply awesome and the Tuco character is extremely enjoyable to watch. PS: Didin't know "The ecstasy of gold" was from this movie. All this while used to think that it was composed by Metallica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I like Clint Eastwood's 'Dirty Harry' more than all his other movies. 'Are you feeling lucky today punk' - what style....Clint Eastwood is da man ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Unforgiven = Eastwoods best. "That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned." /Goosebumps.

MarketTantrik Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I just finished watching The good, the bad and the ugly. Took me 4 days to wrap it off. The long drawn out scenes where everyone is looking around just waiting for the soundtrack to reach its climax become painful after a while. Typical of Sergio Leone's style of direction. Superb action sets punctuated by long drawn out sequences of sheer boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
