    Aguirre, the Wrath of God

    With all men - including his "emperor", a stout man seated on a short seat covered with the only sheet of velvet - passed, Klaus Kinski, Aguirre, in a moment where actor and character merge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdtK34uhHlQ), with fiery eyes - unsettling - looks behind himself near the end of the film, and at us.

    Thandel

    Okay first the good stuff. What a wonderful and gripping portrayal of the ordeal and sport of talking to your beloved over phone during "long-distance"!

    Just a few reasons for Mounaragam's iconicity:
    1. Revathy's sharp arrow-like gaze from behind a cup of coffee
    2. Karthik's wink
    3. Mohan being a gentleman about being asked a divorce and singing to the moon to become a third-wheeler in his relationship with his wife
    4. Revathy's bottus
    5. Everytime Revathy and Mohan's profiles are frozen facing each other
    6. A Tamil song containing the best visuals of Delhi
    7. Revathy touching a plant after being caught by Mohan…
