Reading..Ramanand's blog, he is collecting movies/art/comics..whatever, can be called as belonging to the "camp classics" genre . A CAPITAL IDEA!! I say.. some of the hindi movies I have seen and which can qualify for this "category" are

Dharam Veer...one of my all time favorite movies..i must have seen it atleast 30 times..(was it 32??..hmm..but its definitely less than the most viewed, Casablanca)..this movie has a strong ensemble cast..with Garam Dharam, Jumping Jack Jeetendra..the luscious Neetu singh...and the ultimate femme fatale..Zeenat Aman..some of the dialogues are so corny..that no matter how many times i hear it i am always rolling on the floor with laughter..for eg..when dharam...applies a tilak of his blood on zeenat's forehead..she tries to wipe it away..and then he roars in his inmitable baritone voice.."yeh mard ka khoon hai..koi paani nahin..ki itni aasani se mit jaye." or something to that effect..his costumes (read skirts), were of course a big hit..with govinda doing innumerable take offs on them..(raja babu)..all the cliches of a typical hindi movie are there...separated brothers..friends turned foes, commoner romancing a princess,loyal "sword, baby carrying" birds ..and, especially hilarious, is Pran's mastery in the art of "samurai". Hattari Honzo will suffer a epilepsy if he sees the "samurai" sword..

Clerk. Manoj Kumar's emoting takes the cake, but this movie deserves to be in this list just for one scene..Ashok Kumar is lying on the bed..counting his last breath..his near and dear ones are scampering all over town..trying to arrange money for medicines..predictably they fail..then manoj kumar gets a brainwave..he puts on the radio..and a nationalistic song is being played..and lo!!..ashok kumar..gets up miraculosly and starts marching in beat with the song. The story revolves around a lowly defence clerks' efforts to protect a file, pivotal to national security, overcoming the lurid machinations of Rekha. Other stellars in the movie are rejendra kumar, sashi kapoor and prem "prem naam hai mera" chopra

Wahan Ke log A hindi movie in the science fiction(surprise surprise) genre..much before rakesh roshan made Koi Mil Gaya. Another campy classic starring Tanjua, Pradeep Kumar and Niloufer. See it to believe it!!

Aankhen, not the david dhawan..govinda caper..but ramanand sagar's take off on bond movies,it has the coolest gadgets u will ever see in a hindi movie, hidden weapons in shoes, sleeping potions in rings, transmitters hidden inside suitcases, receivers hidden behind a book shelf, secret passageways, cryptic signals..they are all there..alongwith some funky martial arts..story revolves around a remnant of netaji's INA which takes the security of the motherland into their own capable hands. Dharamji stars, with nepali beauty Mala Sinha providing capable support..Mahmood plays his comic sidekick role to perfection, atleast in the song "International Fakeer". The coolest ever display of judo comes from Lalita Pawar.

Geeta Mera Naam This sordid tale of separated siblings, revenge , friendship, and the eternal fight between good and evil, stars, Sunil Dutt mouthing mindboggling dialogues, "a clearly sufferin from thyroid" Saadhna, the dashing Feroz Khan..and inspector, Ramesh Deo..rounds off the sibling pack. The high point of the movie is that whenever a dramatic scene occurs (which is like in every 5 minutes)..the background song "lahoo ko lahoo pukarega...." starts blaring . Sunil Dutt plays the big bro..who is the mob boss with a penchant for "waxing" his victims, khan plays his sidekick, saadhana is the girl who is out to reform them. the film ends with sunil dutt "waxing "himself , mouthing .."jo log doosron ka insaaf karte hain, unko apna insaaf karne ki himmat bhi honi chahyiye"

amen..
I implore others to add to this list
