Live and Let Die (1973): As a three-year-old, the first ever image I saw on a big screen was a man in a suit walking atop a gun barrel and firing at it. It did change my life, making me the world's greatest James Bond fan!
Enter The Dragon (1973): On Bruce Lee's 25th death anniversary, I flew down to LA for a special screening with more than 1,000 people clapping, cheering and crying through the film.
Jaws (1975): I have learnt so much about shooting techniques while watching Jaws on DVD again and again. For me, this film is Spielberg's best work till date.
Sholay (1975): The greatest Hindi film ever made... forever.
Dharam Veer (1977): The only movie of its kind, which had pirates, gypsies, gladiators, ninjas, samurais, maharajas, and Dharmendra in a mini skirt. All this, in a backdrop of a period film - now that is pure conviction!
Qurbani (1980): I bunked school on Monday morning to buy a ticket after standing in a mile-long queue to see the film's first day, first show. But then, I gave it away to a needier friend, I guess the title of the film had a huge effect on me!

'The Dictator' demands we taste the 'duck soup'
With such anarchist commentary, "The Dictator" blends "Duck Soup" (1933) and "Coming to America" (1988), as Cohen commands us to, "Just taste the duck soup!" The best political commentary comes during the film's final speech, riffing on everything from

"The Dictator" Arrives on American Shores The Dictator echoes the same kind of political humor involving tyrants all the way back to 1933's Duck Soup and 1971's Bananas, but the film I'm most reminded of is 1987's Coming to America, in which the fabulously wealthy Prince Akeem of Zamunda goes |

Free Film School #47: Humor is Reason Gone Mad Animal Crackers (1930), Monkey Business (1931), Horse Feathers (1932), and Duck Soup (1933) were all enormous hits in the day and are often considered to be of their Golden Era. What do the titles mean? I'm not exactly sure myself. |
