Bollywood's greatest 100 films list at

This list is actually identified as "Bollywood's Best Films" - not specifically a Top 100.
Here are the source articles for the list:

@jrod944: Good starting points - "Salaam Bombay" and "Bandit Queen"
I've not actually watched any of these films yet so I don't know much about them but here's a list that might help you jrod:
http://uk.imdb.com/search/title?countries=in&languages=hi&num_votes=1000,&sort=num_votes&title_type=feature
I've done it so it's all the Hindi language Indian films with 1000+ votes. There's 154 films on it. You can sort it by runtime, number of votes, rating, year etc. It might help you find shorter ones to start with.
Id like to get into this, but would much perfer to start with some stuff under 150 minutes. Does such a thing exist?
