Well, i am a movie buff but i was brought up learning science and i love it. Put them together and what you get is pure entertainment with lot of wit. So here is my list of top ten sci-fi films that i have watched.

1. The Matrix
2. Jurassic Park
3. Star Wars Chapter IV, V & VI- A new hope, Empire strikes back & Return of the Jedi
4. Minority Report
5. Alien
6. Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Interesting Facts; our grand old film maestro Satyajit Ray had written a script to be called The Alien back then in 1967. It was an adaptation from a Bangla science fiction book by Bankubabur Bandhu. The earliest sci-fi movie from India was a Tamil-American co-production called "Kaadu" (The Jungle) in 1952.

Top Ten actors of all time

Well, i had previously posted my top ten movies. Here is my list of top ten actors. This is purely based on my likings and not on any ratings. But believe me, for me to like an actor he has to be good. There is no order and i like them all in their own way.

1. Tom Hanks
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
3. Jeff Goldblum
4. Robert DeNiro
5. Jack Nicholson
6. Al Pacino
7. Dustin Hoffman
8. Denzel Washington
9. Russel Crowe
10. Morgan Freeman

Phew, that was tough to choose. There are so many others who i wanted to put in this list like Brad Pitt, Tim Robbins, Matt Damon, Sean Penn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Greg Kinnear, John Cusack, Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibbson etc. but if it is top ten then it is TOP TEN.

Snatch- Worth the watch!!

I had been postponing to watch this British film not knowing its cast and the director for a long time. Finally when i watched it it took the breath away from me. Directed by Guy Ritchie the cast includes Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Stephen Graham and a lot others. The movie has a good storyline and does not loose speed at any point of time. Comedies are subtle and are efficiently delivered by the actors. As usual Pitt takes the role of a invincible man with lot of muscle and brain. He does well in the Irish accent and gives us a lot of exciting moments in the film. Statham plays a normal guy's role and does a good job too. I specially liked the African American trio who provided a lot of funny moments. Though the film has no great message nor tells us any great story it has been well directed and well presented and deserves the #161 place in IMDB top 250.
