  Sholay
  
  Probably the greatest Indian action adventure film ever made. Worth watching just for the legendary Amitabh Bachhan in his prime.

  Will there ever be a better Hindi film?
  
  I very much doubt it..... I have seen it on numerous occasions and still enjoy the movie. Well worth watching, if you have not already seen it.
