In Reply to: Italy... No Visconti: "Il Gatopardo", "Vaghe Stelle dell´Urse", "Rocco and his brothers", posted by orejones on November 23, 2002 at 12:06:21:

Gruppo di Famiglia is tremendous, I love it. But I don't rate it as high as La Strada... just in my personal view. And the Leopard is great too. Kinda related would be La famiglia with Vitorio Gassman.

But really, if I wanted the next best in Italian movies I would nominat the Antonioni's "Professione: reporter", as simply the best of his works.

But Visconti... so many great ones, my head is spinning... but remember, we are defining the five best ever.

Hard contest indeed, but enjoyable too!

Ah, and a couple more. Forgot the name of one about the Napoleon officer striking a friendship with a leopard... and of course, Karakter... simply unforgettable.
