Entertainment: 6 Old But Gold Bollywood Movies With an Awesome Soundtrack

These days video rental stores are practically nonexistent because of online video streaming. But three (3) decades ago, video rental stores changed my life. How so? The stores introduced me to foreign films and in particular, to Bollywood films. What’s so great about these Indian movies? The music! Yes, the dancing is awesome too. But you can’t have dancing without music. Right? 

Many of these films have an awesome soundtrack. In fact, it’s fun to search YouTube just looking for the songs. There are lots and lots of films but these are my Top 6. Yes, 5 out of 6 are Priyanka Chopra-Jonas movies. I’m a huge PCJ fan.


♦

(1)  *Karam (2005 ‧ Drama)

A young married couple should be able to lead a fairy tale “happily ever after” lifestyle. If only the husband wasn’t a paid contract killer; a bad guy who made some other bad guys really angry. It made their lives really complicated.  Music video: Tinka Tinka performed by Priyanka Chopra-Jonas.


(2)  *What’s Your Raashee? (2009 ‧ Bollywood/Comedy)

A guy needs to find a wife or lose his inheritance. He decides to choose his bride according to her “raashee” (her astrological sign).

(3)  *Fashion (2008 ‧ Bollywood/Drama)

A young woman pursues her dream of being a top fashion model, making sacrifices and bad decisions, along the way to get to the top.

(4)  *Yuvvraaj (2008 ‧ Drama)

There were light-hearted moments. But there was nothing funny about the plot. There are 3 brothers. One brother is mentally challenged and when the father dies, he leaves all the money to this son. The other 2 brothers, who feel that have been cheated, scheme to try to get the inheritance.

(5)  *7 Khoon Maaf (2011 ‧ Thriller/Drama)

The film is called “7” because the woman has seven husbands. Each time she marries, she is certain the man she chose will be her soulmate for life. It doesn’t work out and she conveniently becomes a widow, albeit she is never charged with any crime. In the end, she does find her soulmate. To be fair, the other six had it coming.


(6)  *Dostana (2008 ‧ Comedy/Drama)

Two guys need to rent an apartment at a complex in Miami, Florida USA with one catch. They have to be gay. They pretend to be gay, sign the lease, and their roommate is hot young heterosexual female that both of them fall for; only she doesn’t know it because she thinks they’re gay. The movie is cute and funny!

Asian Cinema: 2 Chinese Films to Add to Your Watch List

I enjoy watching non-American or foreign films and TV shows. The movies must have English subtitles of course. Watching foreign films is both entertaining and educational. Before we had the Internet, my husband used to scour the foreign films section in the video rental store and rent movies for us to watch. Sometimes we checked out videos from the local public library. Thanks to the Internet, there are lots of films we can watch online, free streaming. Below are 2 Chinese movies that you should add to your watch list if you haven’t seen them already; along with some related links which might enhance your understanding and appreciation.



* The King of Masks Would Be a Great Addition to a Private Video Library


Movie Review: The King of Masks (1999)




* Classic Chinese Movies:
Gong Li is one of my favorite Chinese actresses and any movie she is in, whether she plays a major or a minor role, you will remember her.



* Chinese Masks have long been an integral part of Chinese theatre:
Chinese theatrical masks are used in theater and in celebrations such as Chinese New Year.



* Celebrity Photograph of Gong Li

Google Plus Community for Movie Lovers (Especially Foreign Films)

My definition of “foreign movies” means non-English speaking with English subtitles.

I heart foreign movies and am always searching for the educational and entertaining treasures to be found by viewing foreign cinema. One of the places to find some really good suggestions to add to my watch list is in a Google Plus Community for Movie Lovers. Joined this community in 2013. 

Reviewing my community contributions from 2013 to 2017 reveals an interesting variety when it comes to my taste in movies and yes ... before you say it ... some of the movies are not foreign. So glad that this community is still active, still available to the public, and currently boasts over 10,000 members. Here's a recap of some of my shares.



(Sep 2013) “'The Manchurian Candidate' with the Late Frank Sinatra is now a classic and worthy of this distinction. The remake with Denzel Washington? Yeah! I have an opinion.”


(Oct 2014) Must reshare as we just lost this inimitable talent, actor and comedian, Jerry Lewis (1926 -2017), who I will always fondly remember as “The Nutty Professor”.

“-The remakes of this old comedy starring #EddieMurphy were not as good as the original. #myopinion”

(Dec 2014) “Thinking of an underrated #ClintEastwood film? Into #oldmovies? This one is a 1975 action and adventure #spythriller. ...”

(Feb 2015) “'New Jack City' (1991) ...  The bad guy had it coming! ...”

(Jul 2016) “ … My take on 3 #Bollywood dramas I thought were intense!”


(Oct 2016) “This is a #Koreandrama #TVseries. ... can't let go of the #soundtrack. ...”


(Mar 2017) “Ever see the movie “The Falcon and the Snowman” (1985)? This is not America.”

(Aug 2017) "Classic movies are old movies that never get old."
(You can quote me on that. :) )  ☺
