Yeh Dillagi (1994) – An Almost Perfect Remake of Its Time
I always love to see the original film/book, and then read/see all the remakes and reimaginings made from that source material.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) – Love is Friendship in Different Forms
I seem to be on a roll in writing about the classics, but that is what you get when you somehow wake up at six in the morning and have three hours to spare to watch a film before needing to do anything important.
