i am a self confessed movie buff. there is nothing more relaxing than enjoying a good movie. its the cheapest way to visit a different realm of reality, and its over in 2 hours or so. I dont have specific genre on mind, if i find it interesting i will watch it. though i have noticed that i am not into period movies, i find them quite dragging and boring. Me and my wife makes it a point to catch a movie every week. having said that, i got interested to check out the highest grossing movies of all time and make an instant checklist of the enumerated films. figures are all in millions, go check out your favorite films.
