Mr. Amit, you are commenting on a filmmaker who has around 16 national awards and an equal number of state awards apart from the Legion of honour from France. He has been awarded Padma Vibhushan, Padma Shri and Dada Saheb Phalke award and many other international awards and recognitions. And Mr. Amit what are your credentials to review a the choice of a connoisseur of films ?

He has not mentioned a single mallu film or any of his films in the choice and how did u happen to make such a misplaced comment ?

Once people used to say the same thing about Satyajit Ray as he was not commercial. This list by Adoor, not yours or mine. Everyone have their choice, why criticize?

How puny are you Amit ? Everyone is entitled to their own right and interest.. Adoor has made some extremely sensible films.. These guys are legends in the world of Cinema. They don't make films to satiate your poor taste. or for money and comforts. They spread a message; they say a story. Simple as that.

ALL THE FILMS IN THIS LIST AND THE FILMS MADE BY ADOOR ARE ACTUALLY THE WORLD'S BEST SLEEPING PILLS AND SURE FIRE CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

Nita,
Yeah, I pity your knowledge too in fact! These movies run on empty theatres in India.
Many of these movies which showcase India's poverty and miseries will never ever make it to my list. I find them disgusting.
They create a very bad image of India in global arena. I being an Indian haaate to accept it. I don't like the world to sympathize or pity us.
I can accept a documentary on Indian poverty as the target audience are different.
Hope you get my point.

Why do you wait to be sympathized on ? The world is your stage.. Go on and make the change you want to see.. Stop cribbing..
His 'ELIPPATHAYAM" is way ahead of cinema par excellence.....the metaphorical element is a surprise and takes the audience into the trap and enthralls.....cinema at its very best!

that was outright funny! Cant stop laughing for next 10 minutes. Thanks for contributing to a cracking start for the day
Adoor has not listed a single Malayalam film! Considering the number of national awards Malayalam has got over the years, I would have assumed Adoor would mention one landmark film in Malayalam in his list of 10.
I assume Adoor does not think any Mal film other than his worthy of mention and of course he cannot list his movies!

mallus dont like their own movies , confirmed fact, BUT STILL SO MANY NATIONAL AWARDS BECAUSE OF POLITICS

If you think Malayalam getting Awards because of politics then you have to agree that all the national awards are based on politics. I don't think so. Malayalam made good movies.
If these are Adoor Gopalakrishnan's choice, then it is fine. But, if we mention the greatest films, then the kannada musical "Hamsa geete" should be on the top.
