And if a movie critic comes across this article, he may find some of my choices appalling. Of course, we all have different tastes, so some among you may not agree with my selection. Of course, there is more out there to discover and enjoy, so feel free to do some more field work and let us know about your favorite Italian movies! Here is a selection of them, based on my own personal preferences. I, like most Italians, like comedies and I am into Commedia all’Italiana, but Italy has produced amazing pieces in all genres. Vittorio Gassman, Silvana Mangano and Alberto Sordi, protagonists of La Grande Guerra
