#3 of my top 5 hindi films staring Aamir khan is crazy

[alistairlowee]

what are your favorite movies of all time?

also just noticed your name. incredible. my middle name is amber. solid name.

Unlike how I'm with books I'm like quite stingy with my movie ratings. Idk I mostly forget about them if they don't become a core memory 😭

I'm warning you rn this post is going to be a bit long bc I love yapping about things I like

Amber is actually not my real name 😭. I've just been using it online forever bc I don't feel like sharing my real name online. It's really pretty though. Whoever named you had taste

English:

1. 10 things I hate about you: I've only watched it once lol but it's so fun and all the characters are so fun. Ofc the main characters but also the background ones like that counselor lady

2. Do Revenge: hot women trying to destroy each other need I say more

3. The Spiderverse series: It's so well animated and just I love the characters from the second book

Bollywood:

I generally watch bollywood so most of my faves are bollywood films. These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head

1. Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham:

This is my favourite movie ever. I've watched it so many times, I've basically memorized all the dialogue It checks all the boxes. I would definitely recommend this movie it's on Netflix i think

Family drama ✅ (it basically invented this)

Romance ✅

Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor being a power couple ✅

Resolving some of the drama in a random mall. ✅ (Like they were standing in the middle of the mall sobbing actually. Like imagine you are just going about your business and these random people are holding each other and sobbing)

Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor being a power couple ✅

Comedy ✅

iconic soundtrack (10/10 no notes) ✅ (the lala la la lalala lalala lives rent free in my mind)

2. Rang De Basanti

Fundamentally changed me. I've never cried harder in a movie and idk it just hit so hard. It's a movie inside of a movie. This girl is making a film about a few freedom fighters and recruits her friends as the actors and ultimately it bleeds into their real life affecting them in insane ways.

Also banger soundtrack and excellent acting. The character arcs were so good too. It's also on Netflix I'm pretty sure

3. Chak De India

This is like the first movie i remember watching ever. Again a great sound track and the lead actor (SRK) was great in this movie. It's a hockey film and like just so insanely good. Women trying to earn their place in the world of international sports and trying to make a name for themselves though they are underfunded and underappreciated. It's just so inspiring and I love it

4. Lagaan

Another sports film, this one is about cricket. It is like 4 hours long. It's also about the freedom struggle of India. This one is definitely heavy to watch but it's so good and I love it so much. Brings out the British hater in me though

5. 3 idiots

My love my beloved my fave actually over even k3g perhaps. I forgot to add this one when I first answered this but I refused to watch this movie for the longest time bc I all i remembered from it was a scene about suicide and I re watched it a few years ago (on my cousin's insistence) and it just hit so hard and deeply. I think it's bc I'm at the stage of my life where I'm facing the same issues as the protagonists, it just makes me feel understood. It's about the education system and its evils and I love hating on the education system

Honourable Mentions:

1. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

This is only on this list bc of the sound track. Like not a single song missed. I do hate all the characters though 😭.

2. Rocky and Rani ki Prem Kahani

Ithe acting was great also feminism we love see it. It was a bit cringe though. Definitely re watchable. Also like the two references they made to k3g drove me insane actually. I was foaming at the mouth
