To Kill a Mocking Bird

To Kill a Mocking Bird

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?

A feel-good movie about a young man who is caught between his deep commitment to the family, which cannot survive without him, and his love for a woman, whom he cannot afford to lose. Excellent acting by Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio adds to the quality of the movie.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

What happens when the innocent encounter the cynical ways of the world. A highly prejudiced, racist society is viewed through the eyes of a child whose observations are candid, yet her understanding is clouded.

All Quiet On The Western Front

A heart rending depiction of the plight of a generation whose coming of age coincided with World War I. The film stresses upon the meaninglessness of war and the immensity of the loss that accompanies it.

A Beautiful Mind

This biopic based on the life of renowned mathematician John Nash is a heart-warmer. It throws light on the inner struggle of people suffering from mental illnesses.

Life is Beautiful

It is a Holocaust movie with a difference. The flick successfully depicts the brutality of concentration camps even without a single scene of violence. It's a manifestation of the power of humour to make the heart bleed!
