TIME magazine's 100 best films of all time was just released. Amazingly, this is not a US centric list. I was surprised (rather pleasantly) to find that three Indian movies have made it to the list.

The ones that have made it to the list are Nayakan and Guru Dutt's classic Pyaasa - both being favourites of mine.

And of course, the Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray (consisting of Pather Panchali, Aparajito and Apur Sansar

But there are so many more that I have seen and so many more that are worth seeing. Among them, Godfather (I and II), Purple Rose of Cairo, ET (The Extra Terrestrial), Finding Nemo, Dr. Strangelove, the inevitable Citizen Kane, Casablanca, It's a Wonderful Life, Francois Truffaut's Day for Night, the brazen Pulp Fiction, Raging Bull, Schindler's List, Star Wars.

There is much in it for everyone - please go to the list and read it.
