Hacksaw Ridge“Most of these men don't believe the same way you do, but they believe so much in how much you believe.”5. The Number 23“There's no such thing as destiny.

Saving Private Ryan“I just know that every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel.”7. 12 Angry Men“There were eleven votes for "guilty."

Good Will Hunting“So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that.If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid.And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the bsignNow dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help.I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you.You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart. You're an orphan right?”19. A Beautiful Mind“There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is.”20. The Prestige“The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you wont find it, because of course you're not really looking.

Udaan“Chhoti-chhoti chitrayi yaadein... bichhi hui hain lamho ki lawn par,Nange paer unpe chalte-chalte itni door aa gaye hain,ki ab bhool gaye hai joote kahaan utare the.Edi komal thi jab aaye the,thodi si nazuk hai abhi bhi.. aur nazuk hi rahegiIn khatti-meethi yaadon ki shararat jab tak inhe gudgudati rahegi..Sach.. Bhool gaye hain joote kahan utaare thepar lagta hai ab unki zaroorat nahi...”26. It’s a Wonderful Life“Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?”27. Pather Panchali“This is my home now too. But just look at it. It's like living in the jungle. Jackals prowling around as soon as night falls. No neighbors to sit and talk to. When you're not here, I'm terribly uneasy.But you wouldn't understand. You eat and sleep and go about your work, unconcerned whether you're paid or not. I had lots of dreams too. All the things I wanted to do...”28. Fight Club“Everyone smiles with that invisible gun to their heads”29. Tamasha“Phir Na Himmat Huyi Sawaalon Ki,Itna Mukhtasar Jawaab Mila”30. Mukkabaaz“अपने टैलेंट का प्रमाण पत्र लेकर सोसायटी में झंडा गाड़ने निकले हो? दांत चियार के टें बोल जाओगे. पहले सही व्यक्तित्व के समक्ष दांत निपोरना सीखो.ज्यादा इम्पोर्टेंट है तुम किसको जानते हो, किसको पहचानते हो, कौन तुमको जानता है, कौन तुमको मानता है. किसका बीवी बच्चा तुम्हारा फैन है, और बड़े घर की कन्या पटाने वाला फंडा तो हैय्ये है. इसको कहते हैं पैंतरा.”31.

I gotta keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise.Who knows what the tide could bring?”37. Natsamrat (Marathi)“Vidhatya, tu itka kathor ka zalas? Eka bajula jyanna aamhi jamna dila te aahmala visartaat.Aani dusrya bajula jyani aahmala janma dila toh tu hi aahmala visarto. Mag viskatlelya hadanche he saaple gheun he karuna kara, aahmi therdyani kunacha payavar doka aadhlaycha re?”38. Court (Marathi)“Time to know your enemy!”39.

Lunchbox“ I think we forget things if there is nobody to tell them.”41. 3 Idiots"Mr. Lobo, my son died falling off of a train on a Sunday afternoon.

But, if you are checking whether your favorite movie is in this list; I am afraid to say, I have failed to serve the purpose of this answer.Even most of my favorite films are not in this answer. But we have to be sane. Right? You can always suggest your favorite movies in the comments. I’ll add them as soon as I watch them.Plus, Try using Rotten Tomatoes instead of IMDB while *judging* a movie. And Remember,Nothing is absolute in this world except this statement.

Years ago I worked at document management company.  There is cool software that can automate aspects of hand-written forms.  We had an airport as a customer - they scanned plenty and (as I said before) this was several years ago...On your airport customs forms, the "boxes" that you 'need' to write on - are basically invisible to the scanner - but are used because then us humans will tend to write neater and clearer which make sit easier to recognize with a computer.  Any characters with less than X% accuracy based on a recognition engine are flagged and shown as an image zoomed into the particular character so a human operator can then say "that is an "A".   This way, you can rapidly go through most forms and output it to say - an SQL database, complete with link to original image of the form you filled in.If you see "black boxes" at three corners of the document - it is likely set up for scanning (they help to identify and orient the page digitally).  If there is a unique barcode on the document somewhere I would theorize there is an even higher likelihood of it being scanned - the document is of enough value to be printed individually which costs more, which means it is likely going to be used on the capture side.   (I've noticed in the past in Bahamas and some other Caribbean islands they use these sorts of capture mechanisms, but they have far fewer people entering than the US does everyday)The real answer is: it depends.  Depending on each country and its policies and procedures.  Generally I would be surprised if they scanned and held onto the paper.   In the US, they proably file those for a set period of time then destroy them, perhaps mining them for some data about travellers. In the end,  I suspect the "paper-to-data capture" likelihood of customs forms ranges somewhere on a spectrum like this:Third world Customs Guy has paper to show he did his job, paper gets thrown out at end of shift. ------>  We keep all the papers! everything is scanned as you pass by customs and unique barcodes identify which flight/gate/area the form was handed out at, so we co-ordinate with cameras in the airport and have captured your image.  We also know exactly how much vodka you brought into the country. :)

Humor is a very subjective thing. For me, the funniest movie ever made is “Airplane”, not just because it is hilarious but when it came out it was just so unexpected to see ‘serious’ actors like Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges playing roles that mocked their serious roles. Some of the unexpected joy and humor from that time remains in my mind no matter how many times I see the movie.Another of the “funniest movies of all time” for me was “Animal House”, again because it was so unexpected. I saw the movie with my first real girlfriend and the combination of humor and nudity had her all over me in the theater in a way I never expected so while I was laughing outrageously at what I couldn’t believe was happening on the screen she was groping around inside my pants. It’s almost impossible to separate the memories of that day from subsequent viewings no matter how many times I see it.For awhile I thought “Something About Mary” was the funniest movie ever but the movie doesn’t hold up over time for some reason. Some things do, such as the “rest area” scene, but many don’t. Chris Eliot is a great comedian and anything he’s in is going to be funny. I thought Ben Stiller was interesting but I was shocked to see him as a comedian when he so perfectly played the evil bad guy in the John Cusack movie, “Hot Pursuit” so it was hard to see him as a funny man. He’s a better actor than he gets credit for.I thought “Top Secret” was incredibly hilarious. This was one of Val Kilmer’s first movies when he was young and buff and the entire juxtaposition of the Cold War confused with WW2 in a film reminiscent of “Airplane” with sight gags and vaudeville and sexual innuendo made this movie one of my favorites.“The Naked Gun” was also pretty far up there. An extension of the “Airplane” concept taken a little further, this movie again used “serious” actors to mock themselves. I don’t think Leslie Nielsen could ever again play a “serious” role after this.A movie that took me completely by surprise as a child that was hilarious was “The Pink Panther” with Peter Sellers.One of the funniest movies I saw as a youth was “Kentucky Fried Movie” and its send up of Bruce Lee films with the parody “Fistful of Yen” which was one of the funniest things I ever saw. “This is not a cha-wade.”

We, in Tamil Nadu, pride ourselves in making some quality movies (Yes, we've dished out some absolute craps too, but lets talk about it some other day). From Sivaji to Kamal to Vikram, from KB, to Bharathiraja to Mani Rathnam to the upcoming young directors who are showing lots of promise, there've not been any dearth of quality, neither of actors nor of movies or directors. We could have been easily the best movie industry in India if not for our neighbours down south (Malayalam movies) or the brothers in the east (Bengali movies), who give us tough competition, time and again. I'm now going to talk about one of the movies of the former, which I watched today. The movie is called #Dhrishyam, Mohanlal as 'Georgekutty' plays the lead, Jeethu Joseph is the director. The movie is about how an untoward incident/murder affects a happy family and how/whether they overcome it or not. The movie runs at just over 2 hours and 45 minutes and you feel the uneasiness. Not because of the time span but because of thinking what's gonna come next, which keeps you at the edge of your seat. What starts as a casual family drama, picks up pace within an hour and there's no stopping that from there on. While I know that Lal is highly rated, I've only heard about it cos I've watched very few movies of it. After watching Dhrishyam, I COMPLETELY understand why he is called THE COMPLETE ACTOR. Has teriffically underplayed his role. Subtility at its best. Stunning performances by all, I repeat, ALL the characters. There's not a single dull/unwanted moment. A complete movie from 'The Complete Actor'. Director Jeethu Joseph is one to watch out for. Back to back gems in Memories and Dhrishyam. Hugely recommended to watch in theatres, for all Indian movie fans. The language is not gonna be a barrier, I can assure you. I don't know Malayalam, but I didn't have a problem in understanding the movie. Trust me, you'll come out of the cinemas with goosebumps. Dhrishyam is easily one of the best crime dramas ever made. P.S : 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan is going to remake 'Dhrishyam' in Tamil and I'm a huge Kamal fan. The great Kamal fan that I'm, while absolutely looking forward to the Tamil Remake, I wonder whether Kamal can replicate Lal's performance, which was just a tad better than what you would call world class. Georgekutty, you beautty! 5/5 - for Lalettan, Jeethu Joseph, Background Score, Performances of all the artists. Flawless.

Ask this question of the public of a reasonably educated western country and you get … well … a̶b̶s̶o̶l̶u̶t̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶n̶s̶e̶…It is at least a clear choice.From N=30,000:Karl Marx 27.93%David Hume 12.67%Ludwig Wittgenstein 6.80%Friedrich Nietzsche 6.49%Plato 5.65%Immanuel Kant 5.61%Thomas Aquinas 4.83%Socrates 4.82%Aristotle 4.52%Karl Popper 4.20%(BBC In Our Time)If you ask philosophers themselves, you get rather different results.A great anecdote comes from Peter Adamson, the host of “The History of Philosophy without any Gaps”, who says he ran into a colleague and mentioned that the BBC were running this poll.The professor looked puzzled, and said:“I don’t know why they’re bothering, it’s obviously Aristotle.”Adamson pointed out that they were not asking for the most influential philosopher, but the greatest. To which his colleague replied:“Ah, yes, I see. But it’s still Aristotle.”In fact, when you do this a little more systematically, with professional philosophers (mostly western, mostly analytic tradition), you get a list like this (N=900)1. Plato (Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices)2. Aristotle loses to Plato by 367–3643. Immanuel Kant loses to Plato by 411–328, loses to Aristotle by 454–2954. David Hume loses to Plato by 534–166, loses to Kant by 533–1765. Rene Descartes loses to Plato by 597–117, loses to Hume by 356–2696. Socrates loses to Plato by 548–101, loses to Descartes by 327–2707. Ludwig Wittgenstein loses to Plato by 610–85, loses to Socrates by 385–1938. John Locke loses to Plato by 659–29, loses to Wittgenstein by 311–2399. Gottlob Frege loses to Plato by 611–86, loses to Locke by 279–25610. Thomas Aquinas loses to Plato by 642–57, loses to Frege by 289–284(Leiter Reports though NB: this was asked as “Most Important” not “Greatest”)Given that it’s a nebulous question to start with, I’d say this is a reasonable reflection of (western, analytic) academic consensus.As mentioned, this focuses on the western analytic tradition. It omits a lot. But I think making the list wider is not a good idea.The number of people able to make a meaningful judgement on where e.g., Confucius should rank in either of the lists above, is limited. Due to the nature of polls, running a wider worldwide vote would swamp these voices with a popularity contest of the various traditions. Better to have each one give a view separately.

Six years ago I was so depressed I thought I would kill myself. I had nothing going on in my life. And the girl I was dating kept calling me "crazy", would break up with me every day, and refuse to introduce me to her friends. I had three failed businesses that year and the year before. And I was going to go broke with two kids to support. This past year, one of my investments sold for 4000% of my initial investment. A business I started went from $0 in revenues to $12,000,000 in eight months. I published two books and wrote 100s of articles and do 12 podcasts a week. But I don't work hard. I'm about to go get a sandwich. I slept late today. I don't say this because it's so great. I'd like to be a little more effective in my work. It's a practice and not a formula. Every day I practice. Here's what I do. If you don't like it, that's fine. I think each person has to find what works for them. I used to not do these things. And when I didn't do these things, nothing would happen. Life doesn't stand still: it either gets worse or better. Eventually it gets a lot worse. We die. That's the only real truth. But in the meantime, here's what I try to do to be successful and work harder. - NOTHINGI don't read the News. I used to work for the news. I know what happens there. The more you read news, the less informed you are, the more time you just wasted.  Since I stopped reading news, I read more books. i get more info. I feel more alive. I get less scared. I also don't talk to people who want to gossip. Gossip never made anyone a success. And I don't say "yes" to things I don't want to do. Else I resent the person who asked me, I hate myself for saying yes, and I'm bad at whatever it is I said "yes" to. So, in order to work harder, I try to find as much NOTHING in my life as possible. - EAT WELLIt's a simple diet but I try to follow it. No snacks. No eating after 6pm (so my liver isn't on overdrive when I am trying to sleep). Plates at 10 inches. (Studies show when you reduce plate size from 15 inches to 10 inches, you eat 30% less calories). Note! If your plate size is 8.5 inches, you eat more - your body is not stupid. It knows you are tricking it. And that's it. The Plate Diet. Or the - not after 6pm Diet- MOVE A little exercise every day is known to have just as much effect on your mood as a full dosage of anti-depressants. - SLEEPIn the morning, you have energy. At the end of the day, you don't. Which is why you need sleep. The average person needs eight hours of sleep. For instance, they took some famous orchestra and determined that the professional violinists in the orchestra were sleeping 8.6 hours a day. Don't think that less sleep makes you more productive. Whenever I get only six hours of sleep, I know the day is going to be useless. Preparation is how you win the game, and lack of sleep means you didn't prepare well. - GRATITUDEWorry never solves tomorrow's problems, and only takes energy away from today. Worry and Gratitude can't exist in the mind at the same time. Regret and Gratitude can't exist in the mind at the same time. Anger and Gratitude can't exist in the mind at the same time. Whenever I notice these things happening in my head, I try to replace with gratitude. Now I can continue my day - LAUGHTERThe average child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult...five. Dr. Norman Cousins did a series of studies on the benefits of laughter. It improves health, cures disease, improves productivity, and of course, makes you happier. So I try to watch standup comedy when I'm low. Or thing of funny things. Laughter heals the soul. - SURRENDERToo often I would try to control things that were outside of my control. For instance, when a boss is yelling at me, it's his problem. I can't control him. So that's when I try to find a better job rather than put up with abuse. The same in relationships. One of the most important decisions you can make in life is who you spend your time with. It's like falling into an sea of hands and hoping they catch you. When you surround your self with good people, you can surrender that they will catch you. When you are creative, you can surrender to the fact that your ideas will always catch you.When you sleep well and are grateful, you can surrender to the fact that your good health and spiritual attitude, will guide you through the difficult moments. Whenever I'm scared, I surrender. I do my best. I'm honest. I know good things will happen. IDEASI write down ten ideas every day. The Idea Muscle always needs to be exercised. It atrophies after about two weeks of no use. like any other muscle. People think that ideas are nothing and execution is everything. Execution is just a subset of ideas. You still have to have the ideas in order to execute. And the only way to have good ideas is to exercise the idea muscle. Every day. The result: your life will look completely different in six months. You will be an idea machine. You can be stuck on a highway in the desert with no gas and you will have 100 ideas to save you in no time. The idea machine is magic. FRIENDSThe people in your life are like a bonsai tree. It's always growing. And every day you prune the bad branches and keep the good branches. Do that every day and you get more productive. Every entrepreneurial movement, every artistic movement, every leap in science, was done by a group of people. There are no lone geniuses. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had the HomeBrew Club. Jack Kerouac had the BeatsAndy Warhol had his community of Pop artists. Even Larry Page had the thriving entrepreneurial cultures of both Stanford and Silicon Valley and all the search engines before him that he was able to stand on the shoulders of. You can't be productive without shoulders to stand on. MESSAGE OVER MONEYI think people are scared. I know this. I am often scared. We live in a hard world. It's a sentence of frightening nightmare punctuated by periods of intense joy. The message I like to convey is that these ideas help you not only be more productive, but more creative...happier. At least for me, this has worked and transformed me from someone crying on the ground in a pool of vomit, to someone who wakes up and (some of the time) feels the full beauty of the day. I do the above. I surrender to it. And hope for the best.Read More:The 100 Rules for Being an Entrepreneur
