*Biggie on top left (obviously), Sean Puffy Combs on top right and Lil' Kim (portrayed by steamy Naturi Naughton). - The Big City (movie)
'Mahanagar' is the Indian title and it is directed by Satyajit Ray. Set in Calcutta in the early 1960's. It is about a hot Indian housewife going out into the world to work, which was unheard of at the time in India. - Cherries from Chinatown:

2 recommendations- Joe's Shanghai: an excellent Chinese restaurant at 24 West 56th St, New York (between 5th and 6th Ave) - I particularly enjoyed their scallion pancake and mapo doufu (doufu=tofu).

Comes from Thailand♥♥ - To Live (movie)
To Live is a Chinese movie directed by Zhang Yimou, who also directed the Beijing Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies. This film is banned in China, because it is critical of the communist party.
SYNOPSIS: Fugui (Chinese actor Ge You) and Jiazhen (Chinese actress Gong Li) endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen is forced into menial work. They raise a family and survive, managing "to live" from the 40's to the 70's. - Daniel Johnston's album "1990"
*Track 5's "Some Things Last A Long Time" (co-written with Jad Fair) is my favorite Daniel Johnston song.
