Well Steve I hope this one doesn't bog down on you like my British tournament. I was planning on doing an Asian film tournament after the BFI is over. That is unless the BFI tournament is a flop.

My taste in Italian Cinema tends to lean toward mainstream & Genre films so

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
Black Sunday (1960) a.k.a. Mask of Satan
Once Upon a Time in the West
Dawn of the Dead
Umberto D
Big Deal on Madonna Street

If DATD isn't applicable then replace it with Duck You Sucker

 

[Lew Crippen]

8 1/2
L’Avventura
Rome, Open City
The Red Desert
La Dolce Vita
Two Women (1960)

 

[MartinTeller]

I think the only Italian movie I've seen that hasn't been nominated already is Allegro Non Troppo. Not that great, but worth a nom.

Isn't Dawn of the Dead primarily an American production?

 

[SteveGon]

Re: Dawn of the Dead

Yeah, that's why, as much as I love it, it won't be in the tourney.
