  .. I'm gonna give it another try.

  Antonioni is my current favorite Italian. I'm seeing new things in his work, so it may work for Fellini.

  Do you have a heartfelt list? No fair peeking elsewhere., To insure spontaneity you've got 24 hours. LOL.

      you've shown me new things to look into.

      I love it that you included Badlands. The Mission is an interesting choice; I need to see that again. The Royal Tenenbaums (what wacky, lovey fun), Lovers Of The Arctic Circle, The Last Wave, The Garden....This is a very personal list. And useful. Thanks.

        The Mission I included for the music, cinematography and just the feeling when the Indians come out with the cross and are shot down.

        Badlands is all about the feel (could've easily included TM's other two movies for the same reason).

        I don't think Lovers Of The Arctic Circle was particulalry well reviewed but it struck a chord with me. I could also easily have included Sex And Lucia also by Medem (and also not SO well reviewed) but I like his style.

        Another movie I almost included was Frances. Don't know how I'd feel today but that was the first time I saw a movie and left feeling devestated.
