Great movies to watch

Great Mallu movies:

1. `Kireedam',
2. Bharatham: A nice scripted movie about clash of ego and the influence of alcohol among the artist. A must watch for simple acting, and story line and suprising sad climax. Overall except story and dialogues by Lohithadas.
3. `Kamaladalam'
4. Aalkootathil Thaniye: The movie was sort of boring and probably too artistic and un-realistic and totally unbelievable for a malayalam movie.
5. 'Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha'
6. Anantharam
7.
Mathilukkal
8.
Vidheyan
9. Anu Bantham: A great treat to watch for its suprising twist in the tale, sentiments and genuine acting. Excellent screenplay and dialogues by MT.VNair. Great acting by toddlers and mamooty.

Great Tamil works:
1. Devar Magan (story, acting(sivaji,kamal,revathi etc))
2. Mouna Ragam (story,screenplay)
3. Samsaram Adhu Minsaram (comedy, story, screenplay)
4. Hey Ram (everything, esp. acting)

Great Telugu works
1. Sagara Sangamam (kamal, kamal)
2. Geethanjali (screenplay,direction,tragic humour,exploding love)

Great English works
1. Good night and Good luck (realism at its best and intense acting)
