Movies that have influenced me to heaven and to hell and to the mountain between the two !!!

Today is 19th November and yesterday was 18th November ... I appeared Common Admission Test and got to know about my friend Jean Paul' Sartre a little more. Those Indians who have appeared for CAT, 2007 must have seen the Passage for reading comprehension. Jean Paul' Sartre was an existential but then went for communism.

Wow !!! ... I enjoyed it. Anyways today I am preparing for my exam tomorrow "Modernization and Creative Communication" and one of the topics of the course is "GODOT". "Waiting for Godot" a play written by Samuel Beckett and the play was a sensational scintillator drama and satire in 1948. Anyways, as I get to know here about Samuel Bracket who left Communism to, let be, dedicated to the idea of Existentialism I am quite fascinated by just the idea of supposed comprehending it in some few hours so that I can write an essay about it tomorrow.

Now, who among the above am I? These few hours that I will spend tonight and tomorrow will determine that.

Movies, non the less than books are quite influencing once we become a little pseudo-postmodern. What the heck !!

The following is a list if movies that have made me think and occupied for days. The list will keep increasing though. :)
