Here is a very, very provisional list of the top ten Italian movies of all time. It is a compromise between my personal choice (the Pontecorvo, Moretti, and Pasolini) and the vox populi (Fellini).
- The Bicycle Thief (De Sica)
- Umberto D (De Sica)
- The battle of Algiers (above) (Pontecorvo)
- The Gospel according to Matthew (Pasolini)
- Rome, Open City (Rossellini)
- Rocco and his brothers (Visconti)
- L'Avventura (Antonioni)
- 81/2 (Fellini)
- The mass is ended (Moretti)
- Nights of Cabiria (Fellini)
