Love isn't a happily ever after story...usually it's a once upon a time thing

Everybody has this perception of this thing ‘tentatively titled Love’ and it manifests in film with its varying expressions and complex definitions...honestly the marine food chain seems less intricate! Romantic films as such to me put forth things that appeal to us only because it’s an escapade from the reality which is perhaps not as perfect as we want it to be. So here’s my list of favourite silver screen love stories that don't necessarily make it to every conventional list.

WARNING: The usual expectations of ‘The Notebook’, ‘A walk to remember’, ‘P.S I love you’, ‘When Harry met Sally’ and ‘Serendipity’ etc., won’t be met here but I promise not to disappoint.

10. The perks of being a wallflower: A movie by Stephen Chobsky that stars Logan Legman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller is I hate to use this word ‘coming of age’ because it makes being an adult look less complicated but so is its classification; it’s simply about how confusing things like love and life are and how sometimes we may not exactly know what we think we know.

9. Brokeback Mountain: Anybody who calls this the ‘gay cowboy’ movie better stay out of my way. Revolving around two cowboys Ennis and Jack (played brilliantly by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) is about choices we desire but fear to make and the love story executed so beautifully by Ang Lee moves you, simply can’t miss this one

8. Vertigo: Alfred Hitchcock is maddening to say the least. To lose a loved one can be bearable but twice and due to your fear of heights. Harsh?! Starring James Stewart and Kim Novak...sheer brilliance presented in the genre of a psychological thriller.

7. True romance: OK get past the shocking language, get past the gore and bloodshed and there you have it a Quentin Tarantino love story. Trouble brews for Clarence and Alabama and you have a perfect mix of romance and violence. Don’t miss a brilliant performance in a tiny role by Brad Pitt.

6. Garden state: People you have simply got to love Zach Braff and his script, direction and acting in this movie is in one word AWESOME. So watch this movie to just get rid of the troubled mindsets we carry around until we realise there’s actually no need for it.

5. 500 days of summer:  It started off in the traditional manner of boy meets girl and boy falls in love and the girl umm doesn’t! Starring Zoey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt this movie by Marc Webb tells us that love necessarily need not reciprocate always the way you want it to.

4. Lost in translation: This movie by Sofia Coppola speaks so much while saying so little. Starring Bill Murray as a bored movie star and Scarlett Johansson as a lonely newlywed stuck in Japan. This movie can mean anything you want it to mean and that’s the true beauty of it.

3. Harold and Maude: You can love this movie or hate it but all it really goes out to show is love doesn’t really conform to any barriers or forms...it’s just love and that’s exactly what happens when a obsessed suicidal 19 year old meets a zealous awesome 79 year old and Hal Ashby presents a realistic picture with his stunning cast especially Ruth Gordon.

2. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: There isn’t any movie in the world I love more than this Charlie Kaufman masterpiece. Would you erase the person you love out of your memory because you simply can’t take the pain of their shortcomings? Well the eccentric and impulsive Clementine (Kate Winslet) does and Joel does too only to get even but he realises he wants to cherish those memories forever. Whoever said Jim Carrey can't do anything beyond comedy needs to watch this one!

Signing off with a brilliant short film 'I'M HERE' about love that holds no imperfections....

1. There’s no one on this list because you can feel free to put whatever you feel reflects love for you and if I told you mine, where’s the romance in that?! ;)

The Psychotic fascination again

So I did promise you I'd b back with another list, hell trust me this is getting harder than I thought it would, so if I do miss out any excellent ones let me know so I can continue with my addiction.

• Shutter Island: An excellent movie in every respect, its complex and puzzling and since its a period piece it feels like its a homage to the movies by Alfred Hitchcock that introduced us to this genre, one thing I must tell you.....you skip a beat, you're lost.....this demands your undivided attention and on a further note INTELLIGENCE.
• The Butterfly Effect: I know what most of you are thinking 'DAFAQ is wrong with this woman?' I hate Ashton Kutcher and will agree that the movie was a very badly made one and the acting is fucking agony but watch it for the idea and the thought which was at least for me very intriguing.
• Silence of the lambs: People would kill me if I didn't put this movie on the list, One of the best movies ever made......this movie will definitely creep you to the bone with it's intense blend of horror, crime and mystery. I could give you endless reasons to watch this movie but the strongest point would be the acting......Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins immortalised their characters.....Clarice Sterling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter and if you don't feel a little shiver when you hear this name after having watched this movie.......I'll be damned.
• Memento: The one movie that made everything look simpler.......Christopher Nolan's narrative of an anterograde amnesia victim played by Guy Pearce out to avenge the death of his wife, it is an innovation in film making and a brilliant movie of our time that established this genius director.
• Basic Instinct: When I first watched this movie........I was simply shocked out of my wits to say the least....it has some of the most controversial scenes of cinema but is still a movie that lives up to it's repute. One word about Sharon Stone......her character of a deeply disturbing writer who goes out of the way to create those murder mystery plots.....god so fucked up....you'd doubt anyone could play it.
• Black Swan: I did not understand the hype this movie generated.....it was a particularly creepy movie backed by excellent performances and particularly great film making but the story was nothing as such that created a thriller......but Natalie Portman paints a tragic picture of a schizophrenic ballerina.
• Se7en: A psychopath who bases his murders on the seven deadly sins......a young and restless investigator (Brad Pitt) under the tutelage of an experienced one (Morgan Freeman).......it qualifies as one of the best psychological thrillers of all time and god these people can do it all....from seemingly nothing to a shocking twist.
• Identity: I don't like John Cusack and did not really expect much when I saw this movie but I must say it pleasantly surprised me. Ten strangers in a Nevada motel notice they are getting bumped off one by one....think its normal....watch this movie for the great storyline.
• Cape fear: Robert De Niro and Martin Scorcese can only create magic onscreen and this one is no exception and can I say this is way way better than the 1962 movie,  Sam Bowden and Max Cady will stay with you forever.
• Primal Fear: I'm not sure if this really qualifies but trust me Edward Norton's haunting portrayal of an innocent altar boy who is accused of murder and then starts to reveal his true shades made it difficult for me to see him as anyone else. Richard Gere is great too as the attorney who fights tooth and nail to defend him.
• The Prestige: Ohhhh SHUT UP! Sure it stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale and is made by Christopher Nolan but that is not it's only merit....excellent story about two rival magicians out to make each others life hell, excellent acting by my two favourites :* and superb scenes. So if you haven't watched this one just shush.........

These are the movies I have thoroughly enjoyed and inspired me to watch more and more.....there's a lot more to this genre than you can expect and there are many movies like natural born killers, vanilla sky, the rear window, dial M for murder, shining etc; which are equally enticing the best one undoubtedly Psycho no arguments about that one ......one movie I'd like to add is the Dark Knight simply cause Heath Ledger's psychotic JOKER was sooooooo mesmerising I forgot Christian Bale for a while can you imagine?! :O. So if I have succeeded in generating a fragment of your interest to my true love than maybe the next movie I'm looking forward to watching is an old classic FREAKS!

Signing off with Red Lights and the only actor who can hold it Robert Di Niro

Dangerous addictions............

There's a certain genre of cinema that has always undoubtedly held me spellbound, I don't know hen it started but my morbid fascination with psychological thrillers has never really diminished. Maybe it started the day I stumbled upon Alfred Hitchock masterpiece 'Psycho' which kick started my dangerous addiction. This movie..............umm ok dude seriously there are no words to describe it....you bloody well will watch it cause if there was a genre called awesome it would definitely top the list......one tip though avoid the remake starring Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore like the plague.....IT SUCKS!

Creating a list of my favourites seems impossible cause I've watched possibly every movie of this genre.....I've hated some(CERTAIN INSULTS TO THE GENRE) but I've loved most of them simply cause twisted minds are always a source of interest, why else would superheroes click, but here are a few that you shouldn't miss in no specific order :

• Talented Mr. Ripley: Doesn't sound so psychotic does it? well the one thing i really hate about making this list is that i can't reveal any details......I'd say watch it and don't cringe at how Matt Damon succeeds in making you feel uncomfortable in every scene
• Taxi driver: HELL is this one great movie.......Robert De Nero is god yes god, if you saw this movie you'd agree..... a  mentally unstable war veteran lashing out in violence to clear the scum of the streets and saving a teenage prostitute brilliantly played by Jodie Foster....if that sounds banal.....I'm not spoiling anything.
• Vertigo: I'm not sure if this movie would figure out in any list but for me it's one of the movies ever made and it firmly established my undying love for these movies and you should watch this movie if only to enjoy the cinematic excellence

• Fatal attraction:  you wouldn't think a married man's one night stand would come back to haunt him for life, Glenn Close is amazing as an obsessive lover and Michael Douglas  is as usual excellent as a tormented family man.
• Inception: Futuristic and brilliant.....one person who can convince us.....Christopher Nolan.....delving deep into the realm of dreams....changing forever our perception of something we tend to overlook....most people say they don't understand it....I say pay attention moron.
• American Psycho: I never thought I'd love Christian Bale the way I do now when I watched this movie......he was unnerving and freaked the crap out of me as a smart investment banker who gives into his psychopathic alter ego and indulges in violence and madness come night time.
• The Fight club:If you haven't watched this movie yet.....you are not eligible to be called a movie lover....and watch this movie now.....to see what I mean by psychological thriller.....I never thought I'd say this but you have got to love crazy Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Elena Bonham Carter.
• The machinist:  fine i know many of you are going to argue that this wasn't one of the best movies made and that it makes the list only cause I love Christian Bale Ok I'll agree that it might be partially true but watch this movie if only to watch his riveting performance.
• the game: I know what you're thinking...another David Fincher.....well can i help it......this crazy man makes great movies.....you have Michael Douglas and Sean Penn and a movie revolving a live action that potentially begins to control life...need I say more

This list of favourites trust me is way too long to finish at one shot so I'll be back with more......and trust the horror isn't even close to over......... the best is yet to come..... ;)
