Inspired by the Stalker question... this is like asking which Beethove's symphony you can't take. Blashpemy...Well, not really. I can't say I can't take it, but the 6th is BY FAR not my favorite.
Lemme just start with the three without which I could live happily.
Satiricon
Stalker
Eyes Wide Shut
Man, I almost feel ashamed by this list, as even whithin it there is great discrepancy. Maybe I should not even mention the Satiricon next to the EWS... hell, maybe NOTHING should be put next to that excrement.
Anyway, three titans of directing, three films I can't stand. I was not able to find one in my memory by Bergman... Bunuel... DeSica...
I agree with someone here who said things we like are so incredibly unpredictable.
Speaking of Tarkovsky, I mentioned his Stalker but not Sacrifice. There is reason. I don't see Sacrifice as an original work and I can watch and even enjoy it.
So shoot.
