mouna ragam: ultimate romance thalapathi: for showing thalaivar in such a different role nayagan: just because it's nayagan idhayathai thirudathe: cos i had a crush on nagarjun then thiruda thiruda: just a nice flick. and good music
mouna ragam - very rarerly do tamil movies deal with life after marriage.
nayagan - for showcasing kamal's brilliant performance. though the original idea was copied (from Godfather) it was still treated to suit the tamil audience.
kannathil muthamittal - for the madavan-simran chemistry! and for dealing with the LTTE matter which all other 'tamizh' directors only talk abt (barathiraja, cheeman and co - Im talking abt you).
1.Mouna Ragam - Best of Romance Genre. Awesome Cinematography and Mindblowing Music. Milestone movie for Mani, Ilayaraja, Revathy, Karthik, Mohan, P.C.Sreeram.
2.Anjali- Best Film for Children with outstanding performances. Portrayed the simple upper-middle class family.
3.Roja and Bombay - Can separate the films. Best films on National Integration. Need Guts to deal with these topics and Mani did it. Refreshing Music of ARR.
4. Alaipayuthe - Again Romance. Stunning Cinematography and Scintillating Music. Typical Mani dialogues, Maddy-Shalini chemistry made this film an all-time fav.
5. Kannathil Muthamittal - Still wonder how Mani got a thought like this. Adopted child goes to meet biological mother. With EEZHAM backdrop. This film motivated me to adopt a child. Simran's best and Keerthana made wonders. Maddy was apt.
HATS OFF MANI!!!
Personally I dont like Nayagan and Thalapathy much. But I admire Mani's Brilliance in both the movies

avlo thaan!
My choice of some good Maniratnam movies are:
No. 1 - Mouna Raagam - For its excellant narration, photography, crisp dialogues & last but not the least for IR's wonderful BGM & superb songs.
No. 2 - Anjali - For the screen-play & nice acting of so many child artistes & kids, especially Baby Shamlee and of course photography
No. 3 - Roja - A truely different story told in an absorbing & interesting manner plus ARR's songs
Thanks
