Our Film List

For the past couple months, payal and I have been creating a mental list of films we would like to watch when we finally get a free moment. As you can probably guess, we keep finding more and more movies we want to see. So, we finally decided to be smart about it. We realized we need a LIST. Why, you ask. Well, do we really need a reason to make a list. I think not! And since "making lists" is just about the most excitement in our lives at this time, you can understand how thoroughly psyched we are about this. So here goes...

Films that need to be watched...


English Films




  • Good Night, and Good Luck
  • Brokeback Mountain
  • Transamerica
  • The Godfather series
  • Capote
  • Lord of War
  • Hustle & Flow
  • Avenue Q
  • Real Women Have Curves
  • Junebug
  • You, Me, and Everyone We Know
  • The Squid and the Whale
  • Pulp Fiction



Foreign Films

  • L'Auberge Espagnole
  • Y Tu Mama Tambien

  • Spellbound

  • Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Well, that's what we have come up with so far, however, I can guarantee that we have forgotten many amazing films. So, friends, family, and strangers we need your help. PLEASE send us your suggestions for movies we should add to our list. All suggestions are welcome, except for stupid ones of course! ;-)

Oh I just thought of something. You should add badmash.org to your sites visited list.

My recommendation:
-Resevoir Dogs
-V for Vendetta (although I've not seen it yet)
-The Chronicles of Narnia
-Batman Begins
