100 Years of Indian Cinema: Shyam Benegal & Adoor Gopalakrishnan Listed Their Favorite Movies

I am combining two lists because although Adoor's list has 10 movies, Benegal's list only contained 6, so I won't be able to make individual list of his favorite films , so instead i am combining both
first 10 movies are selected by Adoor, later 5 (as 1 movie (Pather Panchali) apper on both lists) are selected by Benegal
this list was made around 2012-13 when Indian cinema turned 100, and both filmmakers listed their favorite Indian movies
both directors are among greatest filmmakers in Indian cinema & also pioneers of art cinema in Malayalam & Hindi
I haven't seen much Adoor's work but seen plenty of Benegal's work and he is not only in India but also One of best filmmaker in world in my opinion
some classics by Benegal:
Ankur
Nishant
Manthan
Bhumika
Junoon
Kalyug
Mandi
Trikal
Suraj ka satva ghoda
some classics by Adoor (which i haven't seen but highly recommended by film scholars):
Swayamvaram
Kodiyettam
Elippathayam
Anantaram
Kathapurushan
