Having written about his worst films, here are my choices for this charismatic Khan's best films. He is a top notch actor, and given the right script he is magic on screen.
1) Sarfarosh: Aamir plays a cop out to get hardcore terrorists. He is an avid fan of a ghazal singer whose music he adores. How he goes about the task keeps the audience engrossed right till the end of the film.
2) Lagaan: This film is about the story of a bunch of uneducated villagers in the pre-independence era who challenge the English - what better way than at the game of cricket. This film was quite entertaining and made it to the top five foreign films at the Oscars.
3) Rang De Basanti: Aamir's role as DJ in this film was liked by one and all(For the most part). He plays the character of a 25 year old guy who refuses to give up the college lifestyle even though he long since graduated and finally pays the ultimate price of the sake of his country.
4) Dil Chahta Hai:Aamir again represents a section of the youth in this role. He does not believe in love and takes impulsive decisions. This film has an ensemble cast and I had truly enjoyed watching this film.
5) Qayamat Se Qayamt Tak: Aamir's first film in a lead role. He exuded a boyish charm and innocence in this film. I am told that this film was an instant hit back then and a new star was born - It was Aamir Khan.
In addition to the above films, I would also like to add the following films:
1) **Raakh
2) Ghulam*
3) Raja Hindustani
4) Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
5) 1947 Earth
