I appreciate not having the "Best XXX" title, it is much more personal without it.I would not go on that darn island without a couple of Kubricks - his Paths of Glory and Barry Lyndon. The rest I could do without... for a while.
I would also make sure My Fair Lady was there waiting for me, and the Breakfast at Tiffany's was served.
Fellini is my long time love, not sure why it is not working for you, as he is a true poet. La Strada and Nights of Cabiria for starters.
We forgot Bergman, of course. Either the Seventh Seal or the Ullmann directed Faithless.
Among the musts... Forbidden Games, La Grande Illusion, L'Atalante, Profession: Reporter, Ivan the Terrible, Tony Takitani, Il Posto, It Happened One Night, and.... and... and many others.
Like you, I just reached quickly into my memory... aren't we lucky there is so much there?
Ah... almost forgot! Borat! As the sore reminder of why we are on that island in the first place!
