I don’t know if any of these are must-see, exactly, but they’re currently my favorites. (Also, sensitivity to over-the-top-melodrama as well as sexism & homophobia must be set aside for these, but you know that already, eh?)
Devdas (2002) Dil Se ...* Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam Hum Tum Koi … Mil Gaya Mughal-e-Azam Paheli Sholay Veer-Zaara Also, Mother India, but you’ve seen that one already I think.
(*Note: Everyone at Bollython hated this one, mostly because they were troubled by the stalkerish & abusive aspects of Shah Rukh Khan’s character. Fair enough, but I thought it had very good music, unusual staging and cinematography, and an unusual degree of realism for a Bollywood musical.)
Hindi movies I haven’t seen that would be at the top of my rental list if I had Netflix:
1942: A Love Story Bunty Aur Babli Hum (1991) Pakeezah Umrao Jaan
