Re: He's so ridiculously full of himself. Camilla Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 02:15:34 PM
Roberto Benigni is lovely!

Thinks he can make movies good by having himself on camera as much as possible, preferably making funny faces. But I haven't seen many of his movies, no.

And now, I don't just like him because he keeps showing up with Tom Waits

Really?


I mean, it doesn't hurt. But while I think he sometimes takes the physical comedy too far, he is very good when he tones it down a little.

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1370 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 786 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 372 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 367 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 681 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 259 Views
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would've been a shoe-in otherwise... *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:14:28 AM 256 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 711 Views
My opinion of their list rose by a fair bit when I saw La vita รจ bella was not on it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:56:15 PM 686 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 789 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 667 Views
I'm quite surprised to see that La Vita e bella (Life is Beautiful) isn't on the list. *NM* Missa Sedai - 31/08/2010 04:51:53 PM 485 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 366 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 371 Views
In fairness, Roberto Benigni being an overrated ass doesn't mean his only good film isn't good. Legolas - 01/09/2010 01:01:21 AM 728 Views
We may have to fight, now. Camilla - 01/09/2010 10:47:45 AM 675 Views
