Not so famous movies I Enjoyed...

The number of movies that I watch has risen over the last few months. We manage to watch at least 4 - 5 movies in a week. Not all the movies are the latest ones. The movies range from Godfather to Finding Neverland, Pulp Fiction to Juno and occasionally some good Tamil or Hindi movie.

Last month had been quite momentous in this sense. We managed to watch a few big hits such as Robots, Patch Adams and LOTR. Apart from that we watched a few movies which were not so famous. We actually picked them because we couldn't find any other movies. But as luck would have it we were very glad we picked these movies. They were just awesome.

Let me share those wonderful movies.

This movie tells the true story of Truman Capote. The movie centers on the Kansas murders which Capote wants to use for his new book. This experience affects him like no other. The movie was taken very well. Toby Jones just sank into Truman with ease. The whole movie was very enjoyable and very touching.

This was one those feel good movies which was set in the depression period. The story was very simple. It was about a golfing prodigy who becomes disillusioned after he is the sole survivor of a dangerous mission in the war. Due to a sequence of events he is pulled back to the game of golf but he's unable to touch his talent. A mystical caddy appears out of nowhere and helps him get his strokes back. Once his work his done the caddy disappears again. The movie holds the viewers' attention from the first scene. Very well taken. Not sure why it didn't do so well.

Offside is a very interesting movie. I'm not sure whether to put it as a movie or a very interesting documentary. It is set during the 2005 World Cup qualifying match in Iran. As the rule goes Iranian women cannot go to the stadium to watch sporting events. Due to the love for the game a few girls disguise themselves as men and try to enter the stadium. Some of them are caught. The movie shows how they try to get a glimpse of the match and of the relationship they develop with the soldiers out of pity for each other.

All the 3 movies reinforced the fact that good cinema is still out there. We just need to search harder to get to it. So let me hunt a little more and try to appease my thirst for excellent movies.
