Thanks Jai!
HR, that's a huge, unquestionable non-counterfeited job man. A Clear definition of 'Better than original' conception.

Enough discussed, Lets move on.
Rotating the raatinam again, Originality is a factor (primary tho) I am looking for a list of 10 movies from other decades where you can call it as a perfect film, original, all-round performance & timeless classic.
wat is a original film??? ellame oru inspiration dhaane.....there are so many adapatations that are far better than vorginal movies - sivakasi is original movie - adhukkaga :roll: .......infact, since watching VB's movies, i feel "he who can adapt well with creativity is the best" :lol2:
odane pattiyal pudikkuma-nnu ketpaanga - i didnt like pattiyal bcos there was nothing that director added to the movie from BangkokDangerous - heroine from medical shop-ngra idea kooda copy adiappangala :oops: .......
I watched indhi gentleman this morning. Torture.
When Saranraj beats Paresh Rawal - one understands that remaking is one tough job.
In Tamil

"azhu puLLai...appothEn unga aathA varum" announcer

Just waiting for the time to applaud him fully when that happens. Till that time I will take slices here and there to appreciate . Will I include his movies in decades best list - not yet. Is he a trend setter - Yes - Is he an avan garde film maker - No - hence excluded.
LEt me take the initiative to explain why 70s was so good...
70s was a time of change - when the modernism was replacing 'classical' of film making. When we started moving from 'High context' acting and film making to 'Low context' acting and film making. When dialogues started getting smaller - yet sharper. 'Saattayadi - surukk' vasanams with freeze frame directorial touches were beginning to replace lengthy song sequences to convey same meanings. Minimalism was getting accepted gladly by everyone and producers and directors were hunting for stories in novels and short stories instead of 'story departments' of studios plucking films out of mythologies and 'Shankaradas dramas' (not that it is bad - just was getting too much of a good thing).
Villains were getting suave and 'multi shaded' and heroes were getting dirtier and multi layered. Stories with prostitutes and show girls getting accepted as 'kudumba kuthu velakkus' by hard hearted maamiyaars and maamanaars were getting made and accepted by public. Art films were also getting made for the first time in Thamizh movie making context and that was something only 'S.Balachander' had been known to make in the 60s.
70s would be remembered - if not for anything else - Jayakanthan's forays into films.
Movies like 'sila nerangaLil sila manidhargaL' and 'Oru nadigai naadagam paarkiraal' are unimaginable even in 90s and 2000s - but got made in 70s. KB and Bharathiraaja changed the taste of film audiences in 70s and Mahendran added to the merry - the way 70s ended, Thamizh cinema was poised to challenge Bengal and Kerala in the artistic war over films - all this inspite of not having an Adoor or Ray - Quite an achievment for a film world with lot of commercial constraints. The middle path of films was achieved and achieved without much fuss - just to be spoiled in mid 80s.
jaiganesh,

You've given a nice demo as to how a period should be analyzed!
Also a demo as to how NOT :-)
