I'll check out those other films too - having never seen any Bollywood films until now I'm quite interested. The Memento one sounds ace.Chris Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175026345423194092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424802464209000270.post-43791058671414773322009-02-13T22:44:00.000+00:002009-02-13T22:44:00.000+00:00I apologise for not being clearer.

And if you watch Uwe Boll's Postal you'll hear the original Don music.<BR/><BR/>Bollywood remakes are not automatically bad. The remake of Sholay was bad! It was kalled Aag. Beware of that one! In terms of the Hollywood remakes, they're a rather shameless mixed bag. Identity was remade almost scene by scene (Khamoshh...) but had a different twist ending and was quite decent. While the remake of Christine (Taarzan: The Wonder Car) just has to be seen to be believed! <BR/><BR/>Recently a movie based on a Tamil movie loosely based on Memento (keep up) came out and it was excellent. It's called Ghajini. Well worth seeing.Richard Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217492399097356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424802464209000270.post-15054091573933464452009-02-13T22:41:00.000+00:002009-02-13T22:41:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Richard Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217492399097356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424802464209000270.post-83463393057234557392009-02-13T22:40:00.000+00:002009-02-13T22:40:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Richard Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217492399097356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424802464209000270.post-65664742150310926382009-02-06T23:33:00.000+00:002009-02-06T23:33:00.000+00:00I will check that out, but I notice there are two ...I will check that out, but I notice there are two versions (1978 & 2006) - which version is best?

I just can't convince anyone to give them a go. There's some great stuff out there. If you've never seen one check out Don. It's more Hollywood than Bollywood and the songs are great.Richard Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217492399097356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3424802464209000270.post-14121425557758547412009-02-05T14:16:00.000+00:002009-02-05T14:16:00.000+00:00See, I'm not a war film fan either but Guns of Nav...See, I'm not a war film fan either but Guns of Navarone, Paths of Glory, Big Red One, Apocalypse Now and so on...they're all essential viewing.
