1. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron

All hail the big daddy.

It just had to be number one, right? The only true black comic masterpiece in our cinema, this is one shoestring budget arthouse film that ended up more enduring than any blockbuster ever could.

Starring the best ensemble cast of all time, this fantastically scripted tale of corruption and caricatures is as quotable as cinema's ever gotten.

From that fantastic scene where the entire cast hijacks a Mahabharata production on stage, to the moment where director Kundan Shah pays subtle tribute to Antonioni, this film has classic written all over it.

Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron isn't just an eighties film; it's ours, and we're all shareholders.
