UNCUT GEMS: THE UNDERRATED, THE UNRECOGNISED AND THE IGNORED
I am a cinephile who watches every genre. It was just my whimsical venture into naming certain titles which I felt nudged my emotional noodles. There is no ascending or descending order for these movies. There are only two kinds of movies: Good movies and Bullshitter Movies. These are the movies which i felt should be watched by all cinephiles. It is a list in process and will be embellished by new stuff which I keep watching. The only purpose of this list is : Watch, Enjoy, Repeat!
