For someone who thrives on humour, actor Saurabh Shukla's favourite films are rather serious. He tells CS, "Cinema in my head is larger than life. But it is also a part of my day to day life.

The following films are fantasies but realistic fantasies. After all, life is not always about happy endings."Though he says that he's seen thousands of films, he wouldn't mind seeing the following another thousand times.

1 Mackenna's Gold: It tells the story of how the lure of gold corrupts a diverse group of people. It is an all-time cult classic film. I love the cowboy setting of the film, it set a pattern for the films to follow.
