  Let’s take a look: strange ranking :) It alternates some of the most beautiful films ever, true masterpieces (The Godfather-Taxi Driver-The Deer Hunter-2001: A Space Odyssey-The Big Lebowski and others), with other titles that are definitely less convincing for me (Dracula-Rain Man) or a bit more on the "cheesy" side (Rambo-Scarface and others). However, in the end, there are very few films here that I genuinely dislike (like Qualunquemente, ehm...). Plus, well, it’s your ranking, and anyway I like it; there's no shortage of excellent stuff.

    I’m not a big movie expert, but I really love the great classics. Plus, Rambo and Rocky may be cheesy, but I grew up with them, and I would have added Indiana Jones as well... I don’t find Scarface cheesy; Al Pacino is great as always. I love Qualunquemente; it may be silly, but Albanese’s performance here made me laugh so much, really... movies don’t always have to be serious; sometimes you watch them just to have a good laugh...

    "Every now and then you watch them to have a little laugh..." Yeah, but there are comedies of a much higher caliber that are infinitely funnier; everyone laughs at what they want, though. Scarfy is super tacky; more than a gangster movie, it’s like an animated cartoon. I like it, just to be clear, I find it hilarious, the ending is something epic, but it’s tacky in a ridiculous way :) The first Rambo is a good action-war film, the first Rocky isn’t a bad movie either, but they don’t drive me wild. Indiana Jones is awesome, though; in the "adventure" genre, I don’t know of anything better ;)

    And here you've actually placed classics that are total masterpieces. There’s stuff that would make my personal top 10 as well. Then, respect for the "spuntata" bullet. At this point, I would expect the "must" Frankenstein Jr. :)

  Many films in common, but placed in different positions. A Clockwork Orange is my favorite movie...

    I'm not a cinema expert, but I love the great classics. Everything by Kubrick is beautiful, a director who has done amazing things, thank you for the comments!

  The ranking is very nice, I am also a fan of New Hollywood. I've been rewatching the Rocky films lately since they're showing them on Nove; the first two are very, very good, especially the first one (and the soundtrack is iconic).

    Thrown together quickly years ago, don’t pay too much attention to it.. there are many great films that I shamefully haven’t included, better even than the ones listed. Anyway, I’m good with anything that has mafia, thriller, horror, or crime; these are my main tastes in both videos and books.

    Lately, I've been diving into Narcos, always fascinated by the figure of Pablo Escobar since I was a child. You may remember on the news the semi-civil war he sparked in Colombia in the late '80s and early '90s.

    Yes, I have more or less the same tastes; crime more in the past, now I'm mostly into thrillers. However, I don't watch TV series, as a matter of principle :D

    I’ve never had Sky, Premium, Netflix, Infinity... never cared about any of it. But my partner has been subscribed to Netflix for about a year now, and I've fallen into the trap of Narcos. I must say it’s beautiful. Anyway, I tend to prefer the good old DVDs and Blu-rays, especially the great classics of cinema from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. De Niro is my top. I can’t talk about cinematographic techniques or screenplay stories, production techniques like Zappp or Hj, but watching a good movie is one of my great pleasures. Just like good music or reading a good book.

    I don't watch TV series (except in exceptional and indispensable cases, like Twin Peaks) because I hate the addiction they create; after six episodes you're forced to keep watching, and that's it. I prefer moviesssss.
