The Top Famous Movie In The World Now

Many people go to IMDb to check the rating of the latest movies, but quite many are unaware of the list of top 250 movies based on the popularity. I took time to compile a list of top 10 movies,so that people would know which movie ranks the best and which does not! Here goes the list of top 10 most famous movies.

10. Star Wars V- The Empires Strike Back
The story of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia,Han Solo and the others didn't end with the dusk of the Death Star - it goes on in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Imperial forces have since driven the Rebels to hide on the ice world Hoth. But even on such an icy, backwater world, they cannot escape the wicked Darth Vader's eye for long, and he destroys the Rebel base in an assault with the horrible AT-AT walkers. Luke flees to Dagobah to begin Jedi Knight training with Yoda, while Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and C-3PO run the blockade of Imperial Star Destroyers in the Millenium Falcon. The Imperials pursue them across the galaxy and eventually catch up with them at Bespin. Now Darth Vader plans to use them as bait to lure Luke Skywalker to him, and turns Han Solo over to Boba Fett as a prize to be delivered to crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Luke learns a terrible family secret after losing a swordfight with Vader. Will he - and the others - escape the Empire's clutches? You should watch and find out!
9. 12 Angry Men
This movie stands as 9th among the top 10 most famous movies. The title of the movie might suggest to you that the movie might be about a team of 12 angry soldiers barging through enemy barriers. Its not! Instead "12 Angry Men" is based on a jury's deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12 year old Latin boy is accused of murdering his father with a knife, and is on the verge of being announced a death sentence, and the jury of 12 members is asked to deliberate on the issue. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only one casts a not guilty vote. As the deliberations unfold, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities (which range from wise, bright and empathetic to arrogant, prejudiced and merciless), preconceptions, backgrounds and interactions. That provides the backdrop to Mr. Davis' attempts in convincing the other jurors that a "not guilty" verdict might be appropriate.
8. One Flew over the cuckoo's nest
This stands at 8th spot among the top 10 most famous movies. Jack Nicholson performing as McMurphy has in his account many assault convictions. The most recent of his lands him into the jail. He is now convicted of rape of his own girlfriend, after he finds out that she lied about her being 18, but in fact was 15. Inside jail he starts acting crazy and starts convincing the guards that he has become mad and was in need of psychiatric care. He becomes successful in his efforts and gets transferred to a mental asylum. Once inside, begins the real movie. He is confronted with a hostile nurse who is behind him at his every move, and his insane point of views actually starts making progress in many of the patients.
7. Schindler's List
This film stands 7th among the top 10 most famous movies. Don't let the black and white wallpapers fool you; as the movie once watched will leave its impact on you for a very long time. I still wonder how this movie was not placed still higher in list. The key role is of Oskar Schindler (Neeson) who is a greedy businessman, who wants to expand his business to the army and supply them with vessels and ammunition. While doing so, he unexpectedly starts turning humble towards the Jews getting killed in the concentration camp. Thus he starts making a list of people who then are called upon to work in his factory. Movie is not worth letting go. Do watch it; if you don't have a reason yet, we have one for you; it's directed by Steven Spielberg.
6. The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a sequel to the The Batman Begins and this stand as 6th among the top 10 most famous movies, it has done a wonderful job climbing up the top 250 movies ladder in the IMDB. Heath Ledger's acting in this movie is unmatched. The director has left no reason for you not to be scared of him. Every time he appears on the screen, there is a dead cold music in the background. Batman now has to face his wrath and make sure that Joker does not kill anymore civilians or innocents. The rating zoomed past all the pillars which stood for long time on the top 250 list, just because of the quality of the acting done by these people. There is no reason why you should not watch this movie.
5. Pulp Fiction
This movie holds 5th position among the top 10 most famous movies. Marsellus Wallace is the boss for Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield who has stolen their suitcase. Vincent is given the duty of Wallace's wife Mia, as the boss will be out of home for a while. Butch Coolidge is an aging boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. Samuel and Travolta get into a violent and yet strangely humorous conversation. Movie includes few most violent possible scenes, wherein Travolta accidentally fires a bullet into a boy sitting in backseat; and how these two guys clean up the car in their friend's home. Instead of empathizing on the victim, we actually start laughing on their humor. This movie strangely captivates and glues us to the chair. Do not miss it.
4. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo., Il
Good bad and Ugly stand at 4th at the list of top 10 most famous movies. Filmed in 1966, the movie revolves around the 3 guys; Blondie (The Good) is a professional gunslinger who is out trying to earn a few dollars. Angel Eyes (The Bad) is a hit man and does the job whenever he is asked to, as long as he is paid to do so and Tuco (The Ugly) is a wanted in the city and is trying to hide. Blondie and Tuco share a partnership together making money off Tuco's bounty. Tuco tries to hunt down Blondie when he unties the partnership. When Blondie and Tuco come across a horse carriage loaded with dead bodies, they soon learn from the only survivor (Bill Carson) that he and a few other men have buried a stash of gold in a cemetery. Unfortunately Carson dies and Tuco only finds out the name of the cemetery, while Blondie finds out the name on the grave. Now the two must keep each other alive in order to find the gold. Angel Eyes (who had been looking for Bill Carson) discovers that Tuco and Blondie meet with Carson and knows they know the location of the gold. All he needs is for the two to lead him to it. And the fight for gold begins!
3. The Godfather: Part II
Is on top 3 of top 10 most famous movies. Don't ask me why; probably people love mafias. This is the sequel to The Godfather. It covers the tragedy and story of Vito in his adulthood. Then the movie shifts towards Micheal; Vito's son, who tries to expand his family business to Hollywood, Las Vegas and Cuba. It's better if you watch the Godfather before you get this movie in your collection. But dare not to miss this. This comes as 3rd of imdb ten things.
2. The Godfather
No.2 in the top 10 most famous movies, is The Godfather of 1972. The movie is all about the Family, Don is not ready to shed is old ways of working and ensuring the stability of mafia business. But then comes the guy who is determined to sell drugs out in the city. Don's son who has returned from the war wants to lead a normal life with his family. Then the rival drug seller seeks protection from the DON, which the DON feels is against morals and denies. The rival then conspires and gets Don shot; but Vito survives, and the incident pushes his son to become violent and rage war against the rival. Do not miss this action packed drama.
1. The Shawshank Redemption
Still at No.1 in top 10 most famous movies is the Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins gets thrown into Shawshank for a life term under the charges of his wife's murder. Here he comes across Red (Morgan Freeman) and develops a bond of friendship. Andy (Tim Robbins) goes through all kinds of torture within the prison, and yet importantly retains the hope that one day he'll be out as a free man. The story continues and shows us how he plans along with Red, an escape which almost takes a quarter of his life. The movie highlights the persistence and patience that is required in a person. Does he escape? Movie is worth watching; you should find out yourself.

Lafangey Parindey Movie Review

Director- Pradeep Sarkar
Producer: Aditya Chopra, Yash Chopra
Lafangey Parindey’ (Lafange Parinde) from Yash Raj’s Banner a film in Mumbaiya Coloquial Bhasha. A love story, which shapes up slowly and gradually. Neil Nitin Mukesh [One Shot Nandu,] a fighter who punches his opponent in the ring blindfolded. Deepika Padukone [ Pinky Palkar,] a dancer who turns blind. Now, how she turns sightless is the million dollar question? Nonetheless, she is ambitious to make it big on the dancing floors. Pinky’s love for Nandu is true. However Nandu is a kind hearted guy but unable to declare his love for Pinky . Finally Pinky and Nandu make it big on the “Got Talent Hunt” dancing reality show. Nandu is keen to take over the job of K.K.Menon, K.K Menon is working for a gangster. He is the dada of the Tilakwadi. Nandu who is always the winner in the boxing ring had to lose the last round, as he chooses Pinky over the boxing ring.. A good amalgamation of the reality show.
Direction by Pradeep Sarkar is a refreshing change for Yash Raj Films. The accident of Pinky after which she turns blind, the case is shut down abruptly. Finally, the Police Inspector in-charge of the case tries to solve it on personal level. The case looses importance. Love story turning too hot and the other angle losing importance loosen the intricacies of the story and hence director’s cut suffers a lot. Before the intermission hopes from the “Parneeta” director Pradeep Sarkar is quite high. But with closing down of the parallel story line” the accident of Pinky.” Looks, like the director too looses the strings of the tale.
Neil is the saviour for YRF. He seems to be the perfect solo hero, for the YRF.Neil’s exuberant performances certainly deserve a pat on his back. Hopefully, he could be the perfect replacement of Shahrukh Khan. Deepika Padukone has done a wonderful job. The rest of the cast and credits too performed well.
Dialogues match the Chawl dwellers, very appropriate to the situation. No prizes for guessing that the Censor Board has become liberal with the big production houses as all the cursing words used by the characters have gone uncut.
The peppy and foot tapping number “pakad pakad …  will be on the tip of the tongue of the audiences after they come out of the theatres. Music is soothing to the ears.

Lamhaa Movie Review

While the burning issue of Kashmir has been handled before on the Indian screen rarely any effort has been such well researched, carrying such depth and effectively narrated with technical finesse as Rahul Dholakia (Parzania) directed Lamhaa. Taking you straight into ‘the world’s most dangerous place’, Dholakia offers a very disturbing piece that brings out many emotions out of you.
The film opens with Indian Military Intelligence suspecting a plot to disrupt and paralyze Kashmir and an attempt to do a successful repeat of what was a failed attempt in 1989. That’s breaking of the state of Kashmir away from India, hand in glove with Pakistan. A retired paramilitary commando Vikram (Sanjay Dutt) is sent to investigate and avert it. In Kashmir, he goes undercover posing as press photographer Gul Jehangir. Haji (Kher) an influential separatist leader has had 17 attempts on his life so far in the last 18 years and Vikram through his sources concludes that last attempt on his life was an insider’s job. He succeeds in gaining the trust of Haji’s protégé Aziza (Bipasha) and convinces her that there is another attack planned on his life. Atif (Kunal Kapoor) a former militant and love interest of Aziza who has had a fall out with Haji hopes to bring peace to the valley by participating in the upcoming state elections. But then as Vikram digs further he realizes the mess has only got deeper. Nothing is actually what it seems and there is hardly any one who can be trusted.
Dholakia and his co-writer Raghav Dhar successfully put before the viewers the fact that Kashmir is being run like ‘Company’ where everyone (RAW, ISI, Indian and Pakistani Military and political leaders from both sides) are all its mutually benefiting shareholders. Also, how everyone is keeping the issue burning forever so they all can benefit more from it. Hardly giving any space to breath, Dholakia’s treatment of the film is very international with quick cuts and hand held camera moment giving many a time a feel of guerilla shoot. He doesn’t waste time in establishing a scene but gets straight to the point with minimal dialogue exchanges, expecting the viewer to apply his brains and be an active participant. He also brings superb authenticity to the proceedings by means of setting, locations and jargon. Despite the fact that the big conspiracy at the climax doesn’t come across as effectively as it should have, the culmination of the principal characters appears apt.
Dutt in an unrecognizable look is in top form and goes beyond the character. Check out his body language on his arrival to meet anyone, he always looks around trying to feel convinced he is not on ‘target’. Bipasha Basu is an unusual choice for a Kashmiri girl but puts up a convincing act. Kunal Kapoor does his job earnestly but fails to maintain consistency in his diction. Anupam Kher not only looks the part but goes on with it with tremendous conviction. It is a hard act for any Kashmiri Pandit but Kher proves why he is the best in the business when it comes to strong character roles. Cameos by Denzil Smith as the Army officer, Yashpal Sharma as the ISI agent masquerading as a businessman and Mahesh Manjrekar as Dutt’s trusted old source are good. Murli Sharma, Jyoti Dogra and Shernaz Patel are effective as well. Another aces are Mithoon’s soul stirring tunes and James Fowlds remarkable camerawork.

Patiala House Hits Theaters In February

The makers of upcoming Bollywood film Patiala House have reportedly decided to change the promotional posters of the film. According to reports in the media, this change has been finalized at the last moment to incorporate the leading lady of the film Anushka Sharma. Post her box office success with the Yash Raj film Band Baaja Baarat, Anushka Sharma has become one of the most wanted young actresses of Bollywood. And it is keeping this fact in mind that the producers will now promote Patiala House as a love story between lead actors Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma as opposed to the earlier choice of projecting the film as a father-son emotional drama.
However, the director of Patiala House, Nikhil Advani has vehemently refuted any claim of making changes in the film’s poster keeping only Anushka Sharma in mind. In a statement to the media, Nikhil Advani says that the concept of a variety of posters had always been in his mind and it was only the Akshay Kumar – Rishi Kapoor poster that was released initially. Nikhil Advani also confirmed that since Anushka Sharma is an integral part of the star cast, there was no question of releasing posters without her picture.
Patiala House essentially concentrates between the emotional tussle between a son (played by Akshay Kumar) and father (played by Rishi Kapoor). Their battle begins when the son wants to join the England cricket team inspite of being an Indian citizen. Patiala House hits theaters in February.
