Didn't make it to my list, but an all time favorite. Also, thanks for alerting me to the comments problem. It seems the comments order was broken for these older posts. Your comment was showing up but in between the rest of the comments (it was also showing up correctly in the footer widget). I have disabled threading of comments for now, and that appears to show the comments in correct chronological order. Hi Prax, yes, lovely movie. Didn’t make it to my list, but an all time favorite.

I suspect it may not be easily available, but it's worth every effort. :-)

I haven't seen Munich, and every time Mississippi Burning was on TV, somehow the atmosphere at home wasn't suitable so I skipped it, as I wanted to watch it 'properly'. It has been on my to-watch list for a long time. Memento and Matrix are wonderful of course. If you didn't know, there was a Bollywood remake of Memento that did pretty well in India recently.

Not surprising given the meager financing it received from the Government.

I've mentioned (and linked) about it briefly in my '<a href="http://skeptic.skepticgeek.com/2009/04/10/cinematic-idiosyncrasies/" rel="nofollow">Cinematic Idiosyncracies</a>' post. Hmm...lucky and modest you. Many people know many wonderful, insightful people, hear about recommendations, read books, have discussions, but never get around to watching a plethora of such films! :-) Prabhat Chitra Mandal is the oldest film club in Mumbai.

Some of my favourite "M" movies would also be Munich (2005), Memento (2000), The Matrix (1999) and I'd also recommend Mississippi Burning, 1988, with Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.
