MOVIES

In Bangladesh, there's a common trend among SSC and HSC students to take private tuition. During my HSC years (2013), one of my tutors, a young and brilliant individual, advised me to spend my time more wisely. Instead of wasting 2-3 hours on a bad movie, he suggested spending 5 minutes researching it on IMDb. He had an impressive movie collection on multiple hard drives, and in 2013, when internet access was costly, this was invaluable. He recommended "Schindler's List," and I borrowed it on my 2GB pen drive. The next morning at 6 AM, I was back at his house with three more pen drives, eager for more films. This was the beginning of my movie-watching journey. I've since watched all the IMDb top 250 movies. Even now, during my commute, you’ll often find me streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

I’m sharing a sheet of my watchlist, updated a while ago, to give you an idea of my movie preferences. Feel free to join me in a movie discussion anytime.

I wrote some movie reviews in our Alumni Facebook group. Though all these are in Bnagla, sharing them here if you can find them interesting.
