- Robocop – Jonathan Sequeira remembers the adverts in the newspapers and thinking Robocop looked like a dumb movie, but after watching it one night after work he fell in love with a B grade film that despite the limited budgets, is actually a smart and intelligent movie.
- Crocodile Dundee – Jonathan Sequeira shares memories of how the Australian indie Crocodile Dundee took the world by storm and introduced millions of people to working class Australian culture. How this film was made without any help or support from the Australian arts bodies. How it was about bringing the ordinary Australian to Australia and the world. It’s a brilliant film. It’s hilarious and is still hilarious.
- Purab Aur Pachhim – Jonathan Sequeira talks about how Purab Aur Pachhim represents a golden age for Indian cinema. It’s hard to pick one, but this one is amazing film because the direction is brilliant. The directors just went for it. It proved you could do anything with a film as long as you stay true to the characters.
