The Greatest Movies Of All Time: According to Ravi

I first drafted this post many, many, many years ago. For some reason, I never got around to publishing it.

These don’t contain many of the great movies I have watched over the last 6-7 years, simply because I don’t get to watch the kind movies I would like to any more (it’s always what the kids want to watch , and even when I get a chance to, I end up watching a show like 24 or Dexter (two of my favorite shows, by the way), because they end in an hour, and I can stop and start whenever I want.

I will try to update it as and when I get a chance. Or it may simply be another 5 years before I can get back to this

Do let me know via the comment section below, if you know of a movie that should’ve been on this list.

So here it is. Go ahead, judge my choices, and enjoy the list

In no particular order…
