Pulleez! That sounds like the ranting of a crashing adolescent.

Re-read your post please. The statement "Too many Bergman snobs here" doesn't read as an critique of a single film. It comes across, pure and simple, as reverse Bergman snobbery.
Can you give me a single example of Bergman "snobbery" here in the Asylum? All I've ever seen are simple statements by people about liking this or that Bergman film or who admire his work in general. They've never been accompanied by sneers at other directors or at people who don't care for Bergman.
In my experience the tone of the various messages is a strong suggestion that the only evident snobbery is of the anti-Bergman type.
In film school I took a cinema studies class in Bergman's work, saw a bunch of 'em, read critical works, screenplays, and eventually his autobiography. I came away with a tremendous appreciation of the range and depth of his work. He's also probably the leading Swedish stage director in recent decades. He has quite a resume, really.
But then I also enjoy James Bond films, Japanese anime, westerns, A Bug's Life and so on.
Am I a "Bergman snob?"
