My Favorite Movies

E' diventato istantaneamente uno dei miei film preferiti. Sicuramente il mio film di guerra preferito.

A metà tra un giallo di Hitchcock e una satira politica, questo film mi ha lasciata completamente a bocca aperta.

Le scelte registiche, l'originale storia, il modo scelto per fare satira del clima politico italiano negli anni '70 e i bellissimi personaggi-macchietta sono solo alcune delle cose che rendono questo film un piccolo capolavoro del cinema italiano. E non solo.

A film about life, death and love with so many layers and symbols you could get lost in it.
Great actors, amazing photography and a very powerful screenplay make of this movie one of my favourite Aronofsky's works, as well as one of the most beautiful and meaningful films I've ever seen

One of the best biopics I've seen so far. Very different from conventional tale-about-the-great-rockstar type of film, just like Dylan isn't a common rockstar. I really liked all the choices and solutions of the director, and the confused but poetic script. I think both Dylan fans and non can highly enjoy this.

Sweet, desperate but delicate, this film is one of my all time favourites. It is very slow, that's true, but that pace makes it even more enjoyable for me.

"How am I not myself?" or "nothingness is somethingnes, somethingnes is nothingness"...these are just a few of the philosophical and religious questions asked in this apparently "light" comedy about a couèle of existential detectives, and a 20-something year old in seek for some answers about the Big Picture.

One of the sweetest, most romantic, saddest movies about love I've ever seen. And all without even a single kiss. Kitano is once again amazing.

One of the best film characters ever, The Dude is nothing but a model of life, the perfect lazy and chilled-out guy that everyone would like to be. For me, this movie represents the Coen bros at their best.

Funny and entertaining in a very clever way, with many references to traditional Chinese culture and some classic story plots. I simply love this film, plus Tony Leung is brilliant, as usual.

One of the best Italian films of recent years. A breathtaking performance by Servillo and a masterly direction by Sorrentino contribute to make it one of the best political films ever made in Italy.

ancient Chinese mithology, love and some action are the perfect mix on this film, which at first I found quite strange and difficult to understand, but then the more I was watching it the more I started to love it. One hing I found really interesting and beuatiful about the film is the mix between good and evil, which are never clearly separated as they would be in a similar movie made by Westerners.

Pulp genius

One of my favourite Italian movies, I Cento Passi is moving and amusing at the same time. Amazing performance from the cast.

Mathematics, economics, international crime, patterns to decode the apparent chaos of the world. Pi is not only a masterpiece film with a great direction, it is also something that will make you ponder, fear, want to know more about many things. It is also my favourite of Aronofsky's films.

The film that made me dream since I was 14...a story about passion, poetry, the importance of education and free spirit.

One of the best classic laugh-out-loud films. It will never bore me, and never fail to make me laugh from beginning to end.

Kitano dimostra ancora una volta la sua grandezza in un film che riprende tutte le tematiche tipiche di un filone narrativo (il samurai solitario e abilissimo con la spada) tipiche della tradizione giapponese, ma le rivisita in maniera giocosa e del tutto particolare.
I film di samurai non sono il mio forte, ma questo è molto piò che semplicemente ciò, quindi merita una menzione speciale. E' una decostruzione della leggenda, un prendersi gioco e omaggiare allo stesso tempo in modo bambinesco la tradizione samurai, e il lavoro del regista in sè.
Il finale in particolare m'ha lasciata a bocca aperta: ancora una volta Kitano si è confermato uno dei registi contemporanei che ammiro di più.

Twin Peaks at his best.As usual for Lynch, the main theme of jealousy is brought forward in many incredible, anxious and visually beautiful ways. This is really a memorable film.

One of the best biopics I've ever seen, as well as a breathtaking film, Control is not just another film about a band and the tragic death of its lead singer, it is a passionate and delicate work about the drama of a man, trapped between two worlds and unable to cope with the life he has chosen. Unbelievably beautiful.

The best, most faithful and felt rendering of the great Shakespeare's classic. Kenneth Branagh's performance is breathtaking.

Questo film potrebbe facilmente diventare il mio preferito di Clint Eastwood. Scherzoso, ammiccante, amaro, nel suo ultimo ruolo da attore Eastwood decide di rivedere la sua figura di duro alla Callagan con autoironia come solo un grandissimo del cinema avrebbe saputo fare.
Questo incredibile film mi ha lasciata a bocca aperta, ed è entrato dritto dritto nel mio podio di film preferiti di sempre.

No doubt, this is the best Elio Petri film I've seen. I wish this was more famous than Roman Holidays or La Dolce Vita, because it deserves it!

A delicate and astonishing account of two gay lovers in the macho society of cowboys in 1960's US. This film never fails to touch me, and fills my eyes with beautiful images hard to forget (without mentioning the incredible performance by the two leading actors).

I loved this film because it is not the usual martial arts film, but it's a mix of fighting, adventure and drama perfectly directed and set on a very peculiar and troubled time of Chinese history. I would recommend this to anyone!!!
