Following is a list of my favorite movies, in the order in which I saw
them. I have considered only the movies that I saw after 1985.
(List is incomplete. I plan to add a brief info and remarks for
each movie)
This is a rating among my favorite movies, so a low rating doesnt indicate that I didnt like the movie.
