Sedotta E Abbandonata (Seduced and Abandoned) - PAL DVDSedotta E Abbandonata (Seduced and Abandoned) - PAL DVD

VERY RARE but a great dark comedy about Sicilian "honor." I have the VHS
Open CityOpen City
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $12.43
World War II and Rome. So touching and truly Italian neorealist.
The White Sheik - Criterion CollectionThe White Sheik - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $14.99
I found this in the depths of a media library in Rome. I never would've guessed it was a Fellini because I laughed all the way through it.
Fellini's RomaFellini's Roma
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.75
An episode-movie. It truly evokes the spirit of Rome and by extension, Italy, as seen by Fellini.
Nights of Cabiria - Criterion CollectionNights of Cabiria - Criterion Collection
Buy used from: $40.00
Poor Cabiria. Fellini's obsession with prostitutes makes this movie.
Fellini - SatyriconFellini - Satyricon
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $4.49
Watching this is like getting drunk. You wont remember anything later but the wildness of the night before
StromboliStromboli
This is the one DVD I've dreamt of owning, and so I ordered it from Brazil. My dear Stromboli, how I miss thee.
La Dolce Vita (2-Disc Collector's Edition)La Dolce Vita (2-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $12.91
Of course. Cmon. Its a staple and its Fellini.
The Roman Spring of Mrs. StoneThe Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $2.61
You dont watch this movie, you peer at it. Warren Beatty as a young Italian gigolo makes me laugh.
Big Deal on Madonna Street - Criterion CollectionBig Deal on Madonna Street - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $15.59
A hilarious and cockamamie romp. Inspired by Rififi and in turn inspired Oceans 11
Bread and TulipsBread and Tulips
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $11.28
A lazy afternoon movie. Watch for the gorgeous shots of Paestum at the beginning.
Il PostinoIl Postino
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.98
A romantic movie of Neruda's exile on the Aeolian Islands in Italy. Guess what - Stromboli is an Aeolian island, though not the one featured in this movie
My House in UmbriaMy House in Umbria
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.00
I hate Under the Tuscan Sun the movie. Watch this instead.
Decameron Nights (B&W) [VHS]Decameron Nights (B&W) [VHS]
Buy used from: $1.50
An impulse buy, I loved this nod to the great Boccaccio's Decameron.
Run Lola Run (Original German Version With English Subtitles)Run Lola Run (Original German Version With English Subtitles)
So its German. But it is still foreign and awesome. NEVER get the dubbed version, its all about hearing it in German with subtitles.
