Peter Sellers was a $#@! in real life, but as an actor he was one of the greatest comedic actors of the 20th century hands-down.
I have a few vinyl records of The Goon Show, that BBC radio comedy where he got his start. So hilarious. Sellers is top of the pile for me when it comes to 20th century comedic actors.

Berserk 1, 2, 3 - (anime movie) I really, really liked it.
Seven Samurai - Great movie.
The Seventh Seal - What a load of $#@!.
I only like a few anime, but Berserk was one of them, wild show. The anime series might be even better than the films, though the second and third film were pretty cool.
Howl's Moving Castle and
Grave of the Fireflies are probably my two favourite anime films.
For Bergman,
Hour of the Wolf or
Persona are my preferences. I was never really all that into
The Seventh Seal.
And in reality, I've always preferred Tarkovsky to Bergman.
Stalker is one of the most brilliant films ever made.

Persona - It's a brilliant idea, daring cinematography and difficult not to appreciate. Didn't get as much involved as I did when I saw, say Wild Strawberries, though.
Solaris - My least favorite Tarkovsky so far. Of course it's still absolutely brilliant, but I wasn't as mesmerized as when I saw Stalker and Mirror.
Wild Strawberries. I've been meaning to watch it for years. It's sitting on an external hard drive I have with a bunch of other unwatched films. Better than
Persona makes for a pretty brilliant film.
Solaris is my least favourite Tarkovsky as well. My list of for his films would go something like:
1)Stalker
2)Nostalghia (admittedly, not as "good" a film as the next two, but something about it seduces me, entirely)
3)The Sacrifice
4)The Mirror
5)Andrei Rublev
6)Ivan's Childhood
7)Solaris
2 through 4 are likely interchangeable dependent on which I've watched most recently.
Have you seen any Béla Tarr films?
Werckmeister Harmonies, perhaps? Brilliant. Reminds me a bit of Tarkovsky.
