No worries. The movies (except 27 Down) that I suggested are
"mainstream," i.e., Bollywood. :-) There are not all that bad - easy
entertainment as you put it.

Pather Panchali would be considered "serious cinema." If I had my
choice, I would definitely go with Pather Panchali, and follow it up
with Satyajit Ray's "Aparajito" and "Apur Sansar." The three make up the
Apu trilogy, and represent the finest of Indian cinema (non-Hindi,
non-Bollywood). The music for the movies was scored by Pandit Ravi
Shankar. There was a brief period in the 70s/80s when good serious
movies were made in Hindi, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada.

Some part of the narration at the beginning is left unsubtitled. I
didnt find it as funny as Life Partner which did have a moral to it

For easy entertainment and to get the real feel of Bollywood with all
its colors and entertainment, watch

1. Sangam - mid 60s
2. Padosan - late 60s
3. Jewel Thief - mid 60s
4. Sholay - mid 70s
5. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge - mid 90s

Don't miss 4 and 5 as they are the most successful Bollywood movies
ever.

Nice choices and good entertainment value for the dollar. But Michael's
constraint was that there be no songs in the movie. The narrows the
choices considerably.

The "best" movies were made in black and white in the 50s/early 60s (a
wholly biased opinion from an old fogey :-)) Lots of these movies
actually had plots. Kaaghaz ke Phool and Pyaasa by Guru Dutt were
outstanding movies from that era. Good music and songs too.

Anyways, check out the Bollywood Top25 (nice collection) published by
the Times of India in 2005
