i bet that's a good list. i agree with the spike lee one, one that i'm familar with.i just saw 'crash' by david cronenberg, and i would definitely put it here.
recently saw fellini's 'la dolce vita' again, and found it a little unappealing.
as a big robert benigni fan, i found the movie 'life is beautiful' not as good as i was hoping it to be.
Follow Ups:
I just love la dolce vita, but you would have to fight me all the way to put Benigni on the list of the Great directors!
i was actually surprised to see he is the director of the movies he is in. i guess no one can really direct that type of comedic talent.he's not a great director, but he does have that great 'italian' sense of poignancy (like fellini).
i loved the movie 'johnny stecchino'. i saw it three times in the theaters in new york. he did a great job of having someone with down's syndrome be a co-star.
'life is beautiful' was a disappointment for this benigni fan, but it did have some truly poignant moments.
i just discovered that he made a movie called 'the monster'. i would like to see it as soon as i can.
Il Monstro is as close as he comes to making a passable movie. It is still a failure, but with few decent moments.My opinion of him is still very low, as I wrote some time ago. If I were looking for a good commedy, I would go to the originals like Pierre Richard. Take a look at his Goat.
