Well having seen most of those films(Charulata, Sholay, Do Bigha Zamin, Pyasa, Garam Hawa, Mother India, Mughal-e-Azam, Nayagan, Kagaz Ke Phool, Pather Panchali, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Guide, Madhumati, Anand), I must say it is very good list of winners.
I have a quibble with Mughal-e-azam, I was bored out of my mind every time I tried to see it.
Mughal-e-Azam, I agree is a bore.
