Hi Balaji !

do u like to hv the latest top 25... or from the beginning of Tamil films ?

If so, u hv to discuss about the eligibility of the films.

S.Balaji
6th August 2005, 04:17 PM
Good question Madhu....

It shall be from the beginning of Tamil films...... till date....

I mean up to Autograph stage ...

S.Balaji
6th August 2005, 04:21 PM
On eligibility....... Thats precisely what is expected to come out from this elite forum hubbers !!

madhu
6th August 2005, 04:25 PM

come forward and fix the norms.. !! :P


Dear Madhu,

One suggestion..... Lets not go by box office collection.. . Otherwise, there will be a big list of horrible and terrible movies which were hits earlier... You want me to give an example ??

It was Thirusoolam .... The great Nadigar THilagam's 200th movie !!!! Was a big hit those days and a horrible movie by SHivaji's standards.
There were also lots of Mohan and Ramarajan movies which were hits ( musical hits !!! ) ..

Lets edit ............... Box office collection --- not a crieterion

Number of days ran ----- not a criterion

Even awards---- shall not be a criterion ....

Yes, ideally it should be on :

1. Quality of the movie
2. What message was conveyed
3. Acting skills of the stars
4. Music

etc etc... These are my suggestions.

madhu
6th August 2005, 04:43 PM
yes balaji !

but who will fix the quality... ?

the standards are different for each and every individual..
something quantitative is better to arrive at a conclusion..

hey.. friends.. think something and convey here.. plz !

Madhu,

Now you have hit the bull's eye !!

Thats precisely what is required to come out of the hubbers...

Let the hubbers find quality in their favourite movies and come out with the best ones.

I have a lot of quality movies in my kitty but I wish it comes from the hubbers.

Hi Balaji and Madhu,
Naam period ai vaithu qualityai fix seiyalama?
For an example, In very old days pesara film ae good one. After some years, it is based on the actors actresses. later years la cinema voda running time korainjadhu.
Cinema and its period nu frame pannindu, quality ai fix seiyalama?
Just a suggestion .Thats all.
With Love,
Usha Sankar.

It is definitely a big problem as what Madhu suspects...

Balaji told to select under 4 categories, they are
1) Quality....
2) Message conveyed...
3) Acting skills...
4) Music.....
is it possible...??.

Next Usha shanker asked about period....
How to fix a period..??. The old people will bring their Parasakthi and Paasamalar in their list. Next Generation will come from 'Nayagan' and present youngsters will start from 'Sethu'...

Then, Quality....
Who will fix quality and how to fix it and in what basis...

Acting skill....
If you select in this basic, then most of them will be in Shivaji (Dheiva Magan, Gowravam etc) and from Kamal (Rajaparvai, Guna, Mahanadhi, Devar Magan, Virumandi...the list is big) and about other skills....???

Music.....
If you analyse with music only, no doubt there will come one film "Ninaithaaley Inikkum" (even KB was there, even Kamal was there, even Rajini was there, even Singapore location was there..but that movie was remembered for the music only) but as per story aspect, it is a below average....

So how it is going to be selected....????
Definitely it will not be a perfect selection....

S.Balaji
7th August 2005, 02:47 PM
Well....

Nice to see everybody coming up with further questions on what is the crieterion...

I LEAVE IT TO YOU ALL TO APPLY YOUR MIND AND COME OUT WITH THE ANALYSIS OF THE MOVIE WHICH IN YOUR ASSESSMENT IS THE BEST ONE.

Once you bring in your assessment... ( it has to be a detailed assessment ) , automatically debates and countering / justification will be made ...

This is my humble opinion

We need not fix cut off period.... It can come up to today's Autograph also

S.Balaji
11th August 2005, 07:31 PM
Ok friends...

Let me put Pillayar Suzhi to this :)

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie... IRU KODUGAL.

This movie had all the elements which makes a successful movie lik e:

1. Nice theme
2. Good screen play
3. Lovely songs
4. Great direction
5. Wonderful acting
6. No aabasam
7. Nice characterisation

Here , Gemini had played a very subdued role and Sowcar.. a very majestic and dominating role...
THis movie also had Jayanthi playing second fiddle but a very important role in shaping the fortunes of the movie.

Its a different story ....

At one stage... the audience will love to have both Sowcar and Jayanthi live together but KB gives practical solution at the end

Excellent movie..

It was complete in all aspects...

These are Grand movies:Chandralekha, VanjiKottai Valiban, Avvaiyaar, Aayirathil Oruvan, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, Karnan, Roja, Bombay, Thiruda Thiruda, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Anniyan, Ulagam suttrum vaaliban etc.

Devotional films are also great: Thiruvilayadal, Thiruvarutchelvar, Thirumal Perumai, Saraswathi Sabatham, Agathiyar, Dasavathaaram etc.

More emotional, sentimental films like Paasamalar, Deiva magan, Gowravam, Vietnam Veedu, Kai kodutha Deivam, Karpagam, Kizhakku Seemaiyilae.
Let us avoid too sentimental films like Chinna thambi

Comedy films: Kaathalikka Neramillai, OOty varai uravu, Bale Paandiya, Aduththa veetu pen, Ullaththai alliththa, Michael Madhana Kamarajan.

Musical/Classical movies like Sindhu Bairavi, Thillana Mohnaambaal may be included.javascript:emoticon(':)')

Different kind of story telling movies: Andha Naal, Nenjam Marappathillai, Vennira Aadai, Pudhiya paravai etc.

Movies which talk social issues like Thanneer-Thanneer

I feel movies like Kalyana Parisu, Nenjil Oar Aalayam, Mullum Malarum, 16 vayathinile, Uthiripookal, Naayagan, Mahanathi, Devar Magan, Azhagi must be listed in Top 25 films.

Let us avoid dubbed & remakes even though some like Kuruthipunal are too good.

13th August 2005, 02:21 PM
Hello... Kalnayak...

Really good list you prepared with more efforts. I think I can add some more in each category:

Grand movies: Nadodi Mannan, Kappalottiya Thamizhan, Adimai penn, Sivandha Mann.

Devtional: Kandhan Karunai, Aadhi Parasakthi

Emotional oriented: Thanga pathakkam, Rajapart Rangadurai

Comedy oriented: Uththaravindri Ulley Vaa, Avvai Shanmugi, Thenaali, Pammal K. Sambandham. Pancha Thandhiram.

Music/ Classic: Konjum salangai

Different type story: Kaathal Kottai, Oru kaithiyin Diary, Apoorva Raagangal

Movies which talk social issue... Indian

and somany still have to search in various categories. is it possible..?

It will be easy for us to select, by changing the topic as 'TOP-250' instead of TOP-25'. :lol: :lol:

Thank you Saradha sister,
After writing this only I thought about the missed films
some of them you mentioned. I wish to add some more
to the list. BaluMahendra's movies are missing: Veedu, Moodupani, Moonraam Pirai.
Mahendran's films such as Nandu, Metti, Kai kodukum kai.

Thrill movies such as Nooravathu naal, Uchchakattam, Sigappu Rojakkal etc.

Other Bharathi Raja's movies not listed earlier are: Mudhal mariyaathi, Kaadhal Oviyam, Alaigal Oyvathillai, Karuththamma.

Of course the list may go even beyond 250 and we can decide the required number after listing all.
We can add films such as PulanVisaaranai, Captain Prabhakaran, Aboorva sagotharargal, Uththama Puthiran, Enga Veetu pillai

I haven't listed movies such as Salangai Oli, Sippikul muthu (Pesum Padam !!!) etc.as they were dubbed from other languages
What about Fazil's movies? Most of them have been remade from Malayalam even though they are very good.

S.Balaji
16th August 2005, 05:30 PM
Madhu,

I wish the movies which we all should address SHOULD BE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD...
In fact I have highlighted what probable criterion we can apply for assessing or evaluating a movie.

In my opinion, Kai kodutha deivam, Paasa malar,
Nayagan , Mouna Ragam , Thiruvilayaadal , Pudhiya paravai,
Moonrampirai , Salangai oli ,Thilaana moganambal , Autograph , Unnal Mudiyum Thambi , Mudhal Mariyaadhai , Vedham Pudidhu , etc etc


The ones listed above by me , are they not exceptionally good ones ??

top 25 films

This topic is difficilt for selection
anyway my consider the film should be catogerise

1. give good message for maas
2. direction music and acting should perfectly carrout his message
3. unwanted super acting spoil the character and spoil the message

tamil artists is not so popular in all india level because their acting skill is completely different most of them dramatically acting that is nonsense for many specially sivaji padmini savithiri all are dramatic wise acting, but sivaji can do all sorts acting but the tamil cine media and some tamil people spoil him,

so dont argue the top film catercrise by acting u (some tamil)expect
i cant select as a best film for Veerapandiya kataboman, karnan, Thagapathumai(only we can enjoy)
But i can select as Pavamanippu, pagaperivenai

You people are attempting the most unthinkable. This is scary. I had enough nightmares trying to compile my top ten (in my website) but to divide categories and list them. You must be mad!!!!

Congratulations Joe, you did it (though I smell strong NT fragrance in your list).

All these movies might not be commercial hits but they did cause flutters at the time of release and lived up to the expectations either in the mainstream or in the panoramic category.
My Top 25 movies in no particular order based on theme, drama and presentation, budget, trendsetter, music in no partucular order. In most of these movies almost all the characters would've done a splendid job

1. Chandralekha
2. Ratha Kaneer
3. Nadodi Mannan
4. Sabash Meena
5. Nenjil Or Alayam
6. Paalum Pazhamum
7. Bagap pirivinai

Sivaji on 28th. There are some older movies like Devadas and MKT which I havent had the patience to watch so far.

In one interview, Kamal noted that there is this thing called "Sivajikku Mun" and "Sivajikku Pin", like AD and BC.

For me, I never watched fully any of the movie before Sivaji era. So, it will be difficult for me to list all time greats.

Maddy,
There are 3 MGR movies and 2 rajini movies in my list .However Taste differs for every individual .For you Maya Bazar is better than Veerapandiya kattabomman and Thiruvilayadal ,but for me it is unimaginable .Anyway ,Nice nice to see few movies we both have in our list

MADDY
16th October 2006, 05:14 PM
Anyway ,Nice nice to see few movies we both have in our list

yes joe, Nayagan is my all time fav movie in any language :D ......also, Punnagai Mannan is the best love story i have seen (xcept for the ending) with IR's gr8 music and Kamal's near to perfection acting......also, paasa malar was a display of shivaji acting prowess......the diff. he shows in the innocent "kooli thozhizhali" and "rich sophisticated businessman" is some thing which only shivaji can do.......i like the movie just for shivaji's acting but movie had no relevance in today's world where u cant sacrifice so much for ur sister.......

shivaji and kamal have many memorable movies to their credit.......i left out thiruvilayadal/thillana mohanambaal bcos it wud be a very common choice........ :D ........

forgot to add kizhakku cheemayile in drama list......excellent movie with a pretty near to relevance annan-thangachi movie.....

It is very difficult to order top 25 movies. What is my openion, we can select select one best movie in each year ?

An easier way might be to list about 250 movies and include them in a poll for each individual in the forum to vote for top 25 (not sure if we have that facility). Based on the total votes garnered, we can decide as to what the top 25 is - as far as the forum readers are concerned.

On a larger scale, this is the methodology followed by TIME and AFI to come up with their top 100 movies etc. Interestingly, the only two Indian movies featured in TIME Magazine's top 100 were : Nayagan & Malli !

And, Malli(Terrorist) by Santosh Sivan doesnt even feature in any of the discussions so far !!
