Not a bad list of films from Sriram Raghavan
Seen about 10 of these 30
Stalag 17 - overrated. Its inspiration is from Renoir's Grand Illusion
Asphalt Jungle was the inspiration for The Killing
Not sure why he includes both

Raghavan's own Johnny Gaddar is as good as a heist film can get
And it follows in the tradition kickstarted by Asphalt Jungle

What's a bit embarassing to me is that I barely recall Fallen Idol now, though I remember enjoying it a lot at the time
Should thank Raghavan for reminding me

Jules et Jim is one of the milestone films of the French New Wave
But the climax of Jules et Jim is practically "lifted" by Francois Truffaut from the less well known Otto Preminger classic from the early 50s - "Angel Face"
It's a pretty shameless tribute to Preminger IMO

Saccha Jhoota is a very interesting pick by Raghavan
Enjoyed it a lot. A very neat masala film, though that sounds a bit oxymoronic
Many ingenious plot devices in it. Revived Manmohan Desai's career
