Golden Movies

I am still seeing movies, still inhaling O2, still writing blogs and still living albeit slowly slowly. In last 30 days i have watched around 20 movies and these movies are forcing me to write about them, so the list continues:

1. Waterloo (1970)
It depicts the famous battle of Waterloo,1815 fought between the Legendary Napoleon Bonaparte's France on one side and Duke of Wellington led Britons and Prussians on the other side. Napoleon and Arthur Wellesley have been my childhood heroes so i really admire this movie the most.

2. The night of the Generals (1967)
Its a very very good 2nd World war movie but its theme is not the War but a decadent character of a great German general, murderer of prostitutes. Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole acted brilliantly in this movie. A great movie in every respect of cinema.

3. The Bridge on the river Kwai (1957)
They call it a cult movie and they are very true. Worth watching.

4. All quiet on the western front (1979)
Its a anti war movie and it talks about the story of a young class of college grads who volunteers to fight for their Kaser and their Fatherland in 1st World War.

5. Kingdom of heaven (2005)
A typical Orlando Bloom's movie. It talks about the bloody wars fought in the name of God between Christian Europe and Islamic west Asia. The screenplay is tremendous and the siege of Jerusalem is a worth watching jolly good show.

6. The Troy (2004)
I have watched this movie 'n' number of times and i really admire Hector. His immortal lines "All my life i lived by one code and the code is simple. Honour your Gods, Love your wives and defend your country" are really awestrucking and can inspire even the most coward person to fight.

Till i write again, adieu my friends.
