That's a pretty huge gamble! You're a good guy so I'd probably lie even if I don't like it.

Was browsing 10 mins ago and I run into that one, got my eye on it already.

This forum is not worth posting on if there is someone on here that doesn't like that movie.
I have plenty other recommendations for Italian movies, but Cinema Paradiso is a movie that's impossible not to love.

Great to hear that. Please post all that you can think of (that are decent at least). I'm gonna watch some tomorrow for sure.

Any decent/good Italian movies? (Not La Vita e bella)

@Martin you might know.

@Dule90 unfortunately I have seen very few good ones. Lots of garbage ones. Here are the good ones:

- Habemus Papam (very amusing)
- Gomorra (brutal, but it's very Saviano)
- Il divo (witty, clever, liked it a lot)

I would love to hear about other good ones, in fact.

Voller will tell us.

You don't care about what type of movie it is?

Not really.

I guess horror would be the worst choice, though.

Here are some movies I liked a lot:

La grande bellezza (same director as Il Divo. A movie about the emptiness of the modern life)
La dolce vita (La grande bellezza is basically a modern La Dolce Vita. Same subject, different generation)
Ladri di biciclette (hyper realistic movie from the 40's with a story more relevant than ever)
Malèna (if you haven't already, you will fall in love with Monica Bellucci)
Amarcord (small, funny tales from an Italian town)
L'uomo delle stelle (a man claiming to work as a caster travels around in Sicily and steal people's money)
I cento passi (The story about a guy in Sicily who stood up against the mafia)
Il gattopardo (costume drama about a time long ago and how "a leopard can't change its spots")


I'm not counting Sergio Leone's movies, but if you want to, then watch them all. Masterpieces.

Malèna, L'uomo delle stelle and I cento passi are not masterpieces, but easily accessible.

 

[Dostoevsky]

That's great. Thanks a lot.

One last thing, do you know if those are available on torrent? Or even better, some website like Noobroom with subtitles?

What movie isn't available as torrent these days? Dunno about Noobroom.

Let's just say this one came via a torrent with subs.

I missed that you saw it. Cool. Oh, and plots are overrated anyway.

I actually started downloading that one before seeing this post.

I love torrents but these days I'm a fan of streaming online. Much less time needed and I'm always afraid I won't find subtitles. We'll see how it goes

Is it funny?

I've seen Malèna, it's somewhat bizarre.

Some scenes are pretty hilarious, IMO. My favorite is when he's at a party and totally dresses down another socialite.

 

[Völler]

Is it funny?

Not in the traditional sense, but it definitely has some absurd moments and witty scenes.

This one right? (no subtitles, but you'll know anyway ):

Spoiler

That's like the best scene of the movie. No bullshit, but just the unbearable truth. I wouldn't call that scene hilarious, but it's definitely jaw-dropping, and you are sitting with a big smile on afterwards. Fantastic filmmaking.

IMO, it was my favorite scene in the movie.

Er... it was okay. I wouldn't give it any of the epithets you gave it.

Other people may have other opinions about what was my favorite scene.
