FEDERICO FELLINI

8½ (1963) -

½ - feel like I need to see it again, but one hell of an ending
La Dolce vita (1960) -

- really need to see it again to begin to get it, great big party scene at the end really worked for me.
La Strada (1954) -

- terrific film
I Vitelloni (1953) -

- Damn good, but hard to keep track of so many people when its harder to differentiate their voices because it's Italian a language my ear doesn't digest the nuances as well as it does Spanish (similar enough to be frustrating, damn roman languages) and Japanese.
The White Sheik (1952) -

- pretty average stuff that's moderately entertaining and somewhat boring/non-sensical.
