8 1/2. Although it's the worst example of bad Italian line looping I can think of. Sometimes the sync isn't even close.

I've never seen a Fellini film either. Does that make me a bad person?

La Dolce Vita's the only one I've seen, so I'll pick that. Amazing pic.

Ginger & Fred is the worst. Intervista sucks pretty bad, too.

I also voted for 8 1/2 and I'm reminded again that I have yet to see Juliet of the Spirits.

I've tried with this fella, but count me amongst those who just don't "get" fellini. I've seen a few, including the supposed masterpiece that is 8 1/2. I enjoyed it enough I guess....but surrealism generally just isn't my cup o' tea.

His movies are like Dali paintings. They are wonderful. I love his movies. They are so very different and good at the same time.

well at least you tried. If youre not into his vague surrealism you should definitely check out his earlier La Strada. Have you seen La Dolce Vita?
