Masala Films

 Masala adds zest, if used well and in right proportions, to food-and to films. Some people in the 60s-70s who made good masala films, and their work that I enjoyed. In Hindi films, music is also a big part of the masala..

B.R. Chopra- Humraaz, Gumraah, 

Yash Chopra- Kabhi Kabhi, Trishul

Don- Chandra Barot.

Teesri Manzil, Jewel Thief, Johny Mera Naam, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, ..Vijay Anand, and Dev Anand.

Prakash Mehra- Zanjeer, Muqaddar ka Sikandar.

Khel Khel Mein, and a couple of other Rishi-Neetu romcoms..

Manmohan Desai- Roti, Amar Akbar Anthony.

Nasir Husain- Yaadon ki Baraat and Hum Kisise Kam Nahin. 

Brahmachari, Jungle Mein Mangal, Zakhmee, Paheli (Rajshri film, with Namita Chandra), Dushman, 

Disaster films were a thing in Hollywood- Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, ..

Also Star Wars and Close Encounters of a Third Kind.. Spielberg.

The Omen..a sober horror film.

Comedies by Mel Brooks and Woody Allen- different as chalk and cheese.
