Beat the blues: I suggest Roman Holiday.
A Sunday watch: The whole family must get together to watch Shrek.
The crying game: Watching the lovers in Michael Curtiz's Casablanca will make you cry.
Over and over again: It has to be Ocean's Eleven. It has been designed in such a way that you can watch it as many times as you want to. It's like having salted peanuts!
For the rains: Die Hard, because it has one of the best screenplays.
Beat the blues: No matter how stupid and technically unsound it may be, Pink Panther Strikes Again can surely bring a smile on your face. A Sunday watch: It can be King Kong, Spider Man 2 or The Incredibles.
The crying game: The Shawshank Redemption, because it's all about hope. And of course, the friendship between the two central characters simply touches you.
Over and over again: I never get tired of watching Munnabhai and Circuit at work. So it has to be Munnabhai MBBS.

A Sunday watch: All family members should sit and watch Satte Pe Satta.

The crying game: The story of the life of Brandon Teena in Boy's Don't Cry can make you emotional.

Beat the blues: One can watch When Harry Met Sally.

The crying game: The Champ, which has a father and son falling for the same woman.
Over and over again: God Father 2, as it is a complete film and the greatest actors are part of the cast.
For the rains: Any of the Alfred Hitchcock films, like North by Northwest and Rear Window.
Beat the blues: Michael Cimono's Year of the Dragon, which traces the journey of a young man who becomes the head of the Chinese mafia in New York.
A Sunday watch: It has to be the 24 series of Lost or a film like Prison Break, which is about political conspiracy making an innocent man suffer.
The crying game: Philadelphia, for sure. This particular scene where the younger brother goes to meet Tom Hanks in the hospital is very touching.
