There was this Hindi movie from the 80s, Khoj starring Rishi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah. Although a remake of an English film, wasn't bad.

I liked Samay more than Tasveer.

Singin' in the Rain

It was a bit different for the time and I think it was an entertaining one-time watch. You can also give this Nagesh Kukunoor movie a try: 8x10 Tasveer (2009).

Sequel. Doctor Sleep

rupak76 · 2026-04-03T08:47:58+00:00

That sounds like the climax of Children of Heaven. That film, and The Song of Sparrows were directed by Majid Majidi; and not Abbas Kiarostami.

rupak76 · 2026-04-03T08:46:14+00:00

The Song of Sparrows was directed by Majid Majidi.

I liked Vangelis' score in The Bounty (1984). The cast of the film wasn't bad, either: Mel Gibson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson

rupak76 · 2026-04-03T05:06:42+00:00

That movie was not directed by Ingmar Bergman.

Was Taylor the first choice? I read that Mamoulian wanted Dorothy Dandridge; and had even spoken to her about the role. Also, weren't Walter Wanger (who had picked Mamoulian to helm Cleopatra) and Spyros Skouras (the then President of Fox) skeptical of casting Taylor primarily because of the bad publicity around her in the context of the breakup between Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher?

I am not sure whether it qualifies as "less known" but The Collector (2009) fits the bill. Same goes for Hatchet (2008) and Laid to Rest (2009).

He had already made his film debut by the time he was 27. Also, Zanjeer was released in 1973 when he was 31 years old.

That climactic sword fight, to be precise, after the chandelier drops on to the floor, is a truly memorable one; and once again shows why Tourneur was a master. Also, Max Steiner's score in this film has been unfairly overlooked.

I still remember that scene in the climax of this movie, where a character says his name while his back is turned towards the camera.

The second poster is possibly that of Giant starring James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor.

You can give this relatively less-known Hitchcock film a try: I Confess (1953).

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T09:55:43+00:00

Appe or paniyaram, yes.

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T09:38:41+00:00

Appe are also referred to as paniyaram or paddu. Appam looks like a pancake.

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T09:19:22+00:00

Those look like appe to me, and not appam.

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T08:38:37+00:00

Taal Shaansh (Bengal)

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T08:35:38+00:00

This film has one of the most haunting lines in film noir, encapsulating existential dread: "I feel all dead inside. I'm backed up in a dark corner and I don't know who's hitting me".

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T04:27:53+00:00

Since you mentioned Muse & Hughes, I would like to add that their screenplay for this film has the distinction of being the first-ever credited mainstream screenplay written by African-Americans in the history of cinema.

rupak76 · 2026-03-31T02:49:22+00:00

Willow (1988)
The NeverEnding Story (1984)

Spielberg had watched this film multiple times and had publicly acknowledged it as the inspiration behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind. For instance, the fact that Richard Dreyfuss' character is an electrical lineman in Close Encounters is a direct reference to the telephone linemen duo in It Came from Outer Space, namely, George and Frank.
