I love old 'Really Cheesey' Bollywood Movies: Anyone else here a fan...?

[JCMach1]

-The lame-ass plots
-The bad,or strange dancing in the most bizarre places that relate nothing to the film
-The bad editing and laughable fight scenes...

3. It's ok... I like other 'bad' movies to...

There are some good Bollywood films... they don't usually make it to the US though.

2. I rather like the dancing and music...

It adds their unique culture and flavor to the piece. Makes it stand out than being a B-flick from Hollywood.

I haven't seen any in whole, but flipping cable channels once, I did see part of such a production.

And, yeah, the music and dancing is rather cool.

4. Every now and then a Bollywood flick will pop up on terrestrial

in the early hours and I'll enjoy them as a distraction from insomnia. I like the fact that with low-budget Bollywood you've always got dancing, fighting or wonderful overacting coming up without long ponderous moments of filler.

Have you heard about the documentary coming out about Maoist opera films? I caught a short review the other day and it looks really interesting, but I really want to see the so-called "model operas".

5. Ever notice how some Elvis movies, feel just like Bollywood movies?

You know, the way he busts out into spontaneous songs, their level of naivete and silly energy.
