For all Indians visiting the US, it's like a pilgrimage, but hardly any Americans go there. :) No, haven't seen Walk the Line or even Ray either. Phoenix sang himself?! Wow.

WHMS is cozy. Being a Hepburn fan, Wait Until Dark is special. Where Eagles Dare has been one of my favorite action movies since I was 12. Saw it multiple times after that. Funny enough, although it is a Hollywood movie starring Clint Eastwood, none of my American friends had heard about it. So I organized a movie night at my place for them Have you seen Walk the Line? The reason I didn't like it was because I had seen 2 other movies in recent past with exact same story line - 'Ray' and 'Beyond the Sea'. However, by itself it's an amazing movie. Joaquin Phoenix has done a really good job. He even sang all the Johnny Cash songs himself!!! Anand Nice. WHMS is cozy. Being a Hepburn fan, Wait Until Dark is special.

Adding 'Wag the Dog' and 'Whatever happened to Baby Jane' to the list. Had not heard of the latter - very interesting, thanks a lot! RE Harry & Sally – same here! :)

Witness for the prosecution is already in my noteworthy mentions!

Adding ‘Wag the Dog’ and ‘Whatever happened to Baby Jane’ to the list. Had not heard of the latter – very interesting, thanks a lot!

I'm glad someone other than me thinks there's an underlying profundity beneath the romantic comedy layer! Dev, thank you.

I think it was a very profound movie sweet coated in the romantic comedy genre. I liked Wall-E too, even though Iam not yet a big fan of animated movies. Have seen only couple from your other mentioned movies. Liked reading your description of WHMS. I think it was a very profound movie sweet coated in the romantic comedy genre.

Thanks, I completely missed that one! Good film, would've probably made my noteworthy mentions list. It is a multi-layered thoughtful thriller. Thanks a lot for mentioning it. I liked Wall Street, hence mentioned it. It's moralizing tone put it down in my list. But as I've repeatedly said in this meme, the movie experience is very subjective, so each viewer's list is unique. That's one of the best parts of this meme. Ah, Witness!

There is also a Harrison Ford movie "Witness" - powerful but not sure if it is that special again :-) Arun I may have have placed Wall Street at the top.
