I intend to make a list and own orignal DVDs of these some day. So add movies in your comments which you think are must watch. There are only two criteria - Do not add movies by what critics, go by what you think is great. Do not search any online sites for movie names. The movies have to be top of the mind recall...

This is an exhaustive list. Come to think of it I didnt have any bengali films mentioned. I especially remember and liked Chokher Bali - with aishwatya and Raima sen ( in bengali) - that was one good film.
A lot of the films mentioned by you are new to me.. I guess i have to watch them before I get to own the DVD!
