    Film Sense - Sergei Eisenstein

    This isn't the best deal. There is surely a combo deal out there offered with a package from Batra's Hair Clinic.

Maybe we could start be having a poll to pick a list of the 100 best films in Tamil Cinema?

    Would welcome your thoughts!!!
    Already opened a thread for the same. No use. But, I could help.

    Venkiraja, thanks for showing interest.

    Here's a site (which many of you may already have seen) on Mani Rathnam's films. However, it seems like an unfinished project...

    I'd like to do something similar...

    Like I said, this will take a long time. Especially for myself - although I am interested in film analysis, right now I'm busy with other things. I haven't even fully read through those books above...

    But let me just list some films that I'd like to examine in detail:

    "Anjathey"
    "Uthiri pookal"
    "Mugavari"
    "Mouna raagam"
    "Vedham pudhidhu"
    "Iruvar"
    "Siraichaalai"
    "Subramaniapuram"
    "Moonraam pirai"
    "Aaril irundhu aruvadhu varai"

    Perhaps more to come later... and I welcome ideas from other people too...

    It's been a long time since I've watched any of the above-mentioned films... and in the case of "Subramaniapuram", I haven't even watched the whole film (but I liked the parts of the film that I saw).

    Like I said, it will take a long time - and almost certainly, more than one viewing of the film will be required.

    But let's see...

    My Scriptwriter guru (direct-a illa, Dronar mathiri) wrote these two great books. Part autobiography, part expose of Hollywood system (of 70s in the first one, and 80s/90s in the second) and part tips, lessons and exercise in scrptwriting. Ippadi part-part-aah irukiruthaaley, they are interesting reads. Plus he is funny. The books:

    Adventures in The Screen Tade
    Which Lie Did I Tell: Further Adventures in The Screen Trade.

    Recently I bought this, "Bambi vs Godzilla:On the Nature, Purpose and Practice of the Movie Business" by David Mamet. Manusan kozhapittaaru!
