Ah Fellini! Definitely a favorite, though I generally prefer his flights of fancy to his more reality based films.

1. 8 1/2 - A (all-time top 20-25)
2. Juliet Of The Spirits - A
3. Nights Of Cabiria - A
4. And the Ship Sails On... - A
5. The Swindle/Il Bidone - A-
6. The White Shiek - A- (magically delicious)
7. Amarcord - A-
8. Variety Lights - B+
9. Orchestra Rehearsal - B+
10. Fellini, A Director's Notebook - B+ (if this is what I'm thinking of, isn't it an extra on the Criterion DVD of 8 1/2?)
11. Roma - B
12. La Strada - B
13. I Vitelloni - B-
14. La Dolce Vita - B- (Need to see this again)
15. Satyricon - D (there are a few movies "too out there" even for me and this is one of them)

Own: 5 (if Director's Notebook is included. I would like to own And The Ship Sails On eventually, but I'm willing to wait for a better version than the Criterion DVD, which is one of their really old ones)

I'd like to see pretty much everything I haven't seen. I rented a VHS of Ginger and Fred once but the tape unravelled in my VCR



I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow, and the next day, and the next year, and the year after that. - George Bailey

FEDERICO FELLINI

Well, I've only seen 8½ and I went into it cold, not knowing what to expect, and really didn't know what to make of it. It was early on in my adventures into foreign films, so I should probably come back to Fellini and see what his films play like for me now.

8½ (1963)

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.

Ranking
  1. La Strada
  2. I Vitelloni
  3. La Dolce Vita
  4. The White Sheik
