Happy Valentine’s Day! By golly I am having an SRK and Valentine’s party, even if it is virtual. Every year for 10 years, I have had a Valentine’s and SRK party (sometimes it is 6 people and cake, sometimes it is me and a friend and a heart shaped pizza), and I am not giving up this year! This afternoon we are virtually watching the Letterman special and then talking about how he is the Perfect Man. The way the holiday should be celebrated.

This is it! Last chance! Based on reader interest in these films, and suggestions put forth, and generally what I think I/you will like, this is my list of Romances for Valentine’s Week Festival.

(also, don’t panic, I decided to do a whole Ramesh Sippy Week in honor of Shimla Mirch)
Continue readingTwo Crowdsource Requests: Movies for BollywoodNewbie to Watch on Her Plane Trip, and Romances for Valentine’s Week
These are equally important questions and I don’t want you to be lazy and just do one or the other! So if you comment, you have to give at least one idea for BOTH! So it can be like 10 movies for BollywoodNewbie, and only 1 for Valentine’s, or vice versa, but at least try to cover both.
Continue readingPrepare for Valentine’s Day! Here is a List of Movies for an Anti-Romance Marathon!!!!
The World says Valentine’s Day should be about hearts and love and candy. I reject The World! I’m a rebel! I say, celebrate anti-love and eat salty snacks alone in front of the TV! Join me, and use this list as viewing suggestions. The movies that make you think “I’m so glad I am single”. And yes, they are all about men sucking and girls being awesome. Whatever, boys can watch every other movie if they want to feel happy within themselves, it’s harder for women.

I know, the SRK ranking posts are well-nigh impossible. This is a simple one that came out of the discussions we are having on my earlier post about the DDLJ type of love story. It got me thinking about other kind of love stories and I am honestly curious which people like best.

I would say “why didn’t anyone tell me how good this movie is?”, but then there have been people screaming at me in the comments to watch it for months now, so I can’t really say that. Anyway, it’s good! Really good! Running Shaadi good (my gold standard for overlooked brilliant little rom-coms).
