List of Movies I Want to Watch

• Old Boy
  - done. I had watched Zinda (Indian copy of Old Boy) before and heard that Old Boy was gross-er than Zinda. I did not find it so. Where Old Boy outdid Zinda was the plot. The slight change in the plot had to be made because Indian audiences would not have been able to digest the original version.
  
• Hors de Prix (Priceless)
  - done. Awesome!!!
• The Lady and The Tramp
  - done. Sweeeeet.
  
• Cat On a Hot Tin Roof
  (recommended by my English ma'm when I was in class 9. In front of the whole class, she said, "Kriti, you must watch it." I was one of her favorite students... but now it strikes me that there was something more to the recommendation. Hmmm gotta see it.)
  - done. A pretty serious movie and I wonder my ma'm recommended this specific movie. But I liked the movie and would recommend.
  
• Bridge on The River Kwai
  (my father has been recommending this since God knows when)
• Juno
• Pink Panther
  (the original series with Peter Sellers as the Pink Panther)
  - done, Pink Panther - the 1st movie. But I refuse to call it a comedy. Peter Sellers is hillarious but this movie gives equal weightage to other characters and emotions.
  Have to see the sequels to see if those are more comic. 
• Mary Poppins
  (saw it as a child, must see again)
• Singing in the Rain
  (again, childhood repetition required)
• Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  (again, childhood repetition required)
  
• Synecdoche, New York
  (good review at Lyric blog)

Ah Music! Sweet Music!

While listening to Yanni channel on Pandora, I stumbled upon this delightful piece of music. 

The sheer joy of it made me wonder about the fascinating world of music and creation. I just wish that someday, someone would derive such joy from my creations.
