Pranjal said...

Khan-bhai!! That REALLY you?!! Wow! This is amazing!!

Samba said...

Looking at your list, I'm afraid I don't have too many classic left to watch.

Couple of odd men out. McKenna's gold? I wouldn't count it among classics even in my nightmares.

Hamlet....If only I understood Shakespearean English, I would greatly appreciate Sir Larry Olivier's acting and direction

Samba said...

Do you by any chance have access to the older version of mutiny on the bounty starring Chuck Laughton and Clarke Gable?

It's not on bigflix

Pranjal said...

Nope :(... You could look it up on some bit-torrent site. I'm sure it would be there.

You think E.T fits into a classic?!

Unknown said...

I don't think ET is a classic at all. By the way, I watched Papillon. Very different from the book. Very Americanized. Nonetheless, retains the spirit.
