Depends on what you would like to watch.
A good way to start is start watching movies starring Shah Rukh Khan
And if you are Wild Wild West fan then I recommend Sholay |

Some of my favourites :
Romance : Dilwale Dulanhiya le jayenge (DDLJ) (SRK) , Kaho na pyaar hai (starring Hritik roshan)
Comedy : Andaaz apna apna , Golmaal, No entry(seen over 5 times still funny), Dhamaal
Off beat : Wednesday
Historical : Jodha Akbar (watch for Hritik and Aishwarya Rai)
By the way there are website where U can watch bollywood movies
Generally English sub-titles are good for Shahrukh Khan movies since they get released overseas, for other movies the sub titles are not upto the mark..

My ol' favourite tearjerker is Khabi Kushi Khabi Gam.
Anything with Kajol in it (she's so adorable). Newer ones - Hrithik Roshan is a good bet. Arjun Rampal is very dishy but I don't know how good his movies are -- anyone care to enlighten me?

correction -- liked Arjuns 'Rock on ' as well..

Chupke Chupke, one with Dharmendra ? such a sweeet ever lasting comedy..
What about the old Golmaal (Amol Palekar), better than the new one right.

I was able to utter a few words too like Namaste Pyaar Kare... if it is correct |

There is a Bollywood adaptation of Pride & Prejudice I've seen not too long ago. Was quite lovely !!!
I think it was called "Bride & Prejudice"

Water- part of a trilogy? Earth/Fire by the same director.
The most un-Bollywood Bollywood film- not a dance in sight.
Water is one the most moving films i've seen, it get's a little cliched, but it is fantastic and an insight into Indian culture.
I'm not into movies and I had to get (borrow/beg/buy) this film three time to see the ending, (dodgy CD/player) but I did it. It's that good.
Dark though.

Ooo... I borrowed Water/Earth/Fire from the Cham library. Excellent trilogy; I'd highly recommend it. At least there was a tiny ray of hope at the end of Water.

Laagan, if you enjoy cricket and really epic David v. Goliath tales.
Dil Chatha Hai- it started a new wave of movies with more western notions of character development and realistic storylines. It still has all the music and stuff, though- it has one of the cutest little fantasy song and dance numbers I've seen in recent movies.
Bunty aur Bubli- its a movie about a pair of con artists, and is good fun.
Jodhaa Akbar- great story, historically likely to be utter nonsense, but fabulously shot, great songs, and very pretty to watch.
Umrao Jaan - the old Rekha version is MUCH better storywise than the new Aishwariya Rai version. Think the Indian version of Memories of a Geisha.
And if you're into Indian movies, you need to see Sholay. I must have watched it a hundred times since I was a kid, and it still has the power to suck me into the story.
