NOV,

ayyo, wiki linkslam enakku theriyaadha? I have spent almost 2 hrs in the morning going thru wiki/discography of KB, Sridhar, MSV, Kannadaasan, Sivaji, MGR, IR, Mahendran, BM,BR + the link of 60's & +.

IMO

KB - ? (This may wreck some but look at his discography seriously a director who has more than 100 films haven't left anything to his credit while the directors of the following eras has hardly 10 films to their credit. I really cant take Mahendran+BM+BR as the peak of tamil cinema with just 2-3 good films infact both MM & particularly UP came as a breakthrough between commercial cinema. Johny oru mokkai except songs.)
Sridhar - Mahendran
KVM/MSV- IR (Agreed 100%)
Kannadaasan - ?
Sivaji - KH (somehow)

Infact, only Raaja have achieved this pinnacle and KH to certain extent.

I somehow not convinced with this type of celebrity/combo analysis instead I would like to go by films of that era and estimate what so colossal unique about it. Day by Day & Era by Era I feel the story, narration has really lost its depth. For once I can take a movie for its screenplay and technical brilliance but the next one I can't. Be it novel, movie or a painting.

Some films which immediately comes to my mind of 60's.

1. Thiruvilayaadal
2. Thillaana Mohanaambaal (APN/KVM)
2. Aayirathil Oruvan
3. Ethir neechal, Neerkuzmili, Major Chandrakanth,Iru Kodugal, (Kb's) 4. Karnan
5. Kaadhalikka Neramillai, NOA (Sridhar)
6. All P's (ABSingh)
7. Galatta Kalyaanam (CVR)

There could be many. Like NOV said story, screenplay, acting, music, songs, lyrics, comedy & what not .

The advantage of having 10-15 tamil channels is really paying me off. Watching leisurely at your choice of these classics/songs is priceless rather wasting time and money on every new wretched films.
