I'm more into experimental-expanded cinema, but from the classic one, my favourites are:
 
. "The Rage" by Piero Paolo Pasolini
. "Kings of the Road" by Wim Wenders
. "Sign of Life" by Werner Herzog
 
I also have an interest for German Expressionist cinema, so from this list I'm going to vote for FAUST
 
I don't see the problem with "Cannibal Holocaust", top of italian gore cinema despite that I prefer the delirious experimentations of Hershell Gordon Lewis

Could somebody tell me what in hell is Caquinha Superstar a Go-Go and why is it mentioned?
 
About Cannibal Holocaust it's an insult to everything, repulsive, vomit inducing, no artistic value and narrated by a porn star.

The soundtrack by Riz Ortolani is awsome. I like the movie better than Missing in Action and American Ninja among others (and Big Fish & Chocolat).

I wouldn't personally choose any of them.  So I didn't.

awesome... simply awesome... remember loving the L7 track that played during the prison break sequence so much I bought the album it was off of and started an obsession with the 'Riot Grrrl' movement in the early 90's.  Got into '7 Year Bitch' out of Seatle through L7.


what the hell ...it gets my vote...


RIP Rodney Dangerfield.. an Oscar winning peformance by the way hahahhaha

The most poignant films are usually dramas, and are timeless, meaning they are as relevent todat as they will be million years from now, like Chocolate.  That film is Genius.   Granted, its based off a book, but the adaptation is flawless, everyone carries out their role perfectly.  Its, well, beautiful. 


Kubrick moron? Chocolat geniuos? I know who I think's the real moron.
 
No need for that either Rocktopus, I also got pissed reading the phrase but we are the ones who must show the right way to argue.

I have been browsing through old threads, and have decided to rekindle this debate, for I still, well rather know, I am right regarding the inflated praise attached to Dr. Strangelove. 
 
First, I am referring to the directed by Lasse Hallström. 
 
I am astonished to see the outrage following my remark that Kubrick was a moron. 
 
This is an equally valid view.  I know many people who share my point of view.  Its not radical. 
 
Many people believe this, however, the greater public has been inculcated with the beleif that Kubrick was a visionary and subsequently fail to indetify the flaws apparent in many of his films.

Of course its not radical (that would mean interesting), its just stupid. When you call an intelligent man like Kubrick, great at his craft, knowlegdable about music, art, photography, and history, that has made some boundrypushing movie masterpieces, (and some less strong films) a moron, you're asking for reactions. And what you call an outrage, was far from it. If I say: Einstein was a moron, all my friends think so too, is it an equally valid view, or am just I being an idiot?

Then you call Chocolat, a medicore, completly unoriginal Hollywood-drama a genious film. It proves you need to see more movies so you'll stop making silly, immature judgements like you've done here.

The best movie ever is the Toxic Avenger, but I chose Hot Shots.
