Thanks.
I would love to hear from members wanting to add titles something about these films, why others might want to seek them out, why you plan to vote for them, what they are about--anything. I may not find the time to view them, but it would be nice to learn something.

Then I suppose I should begin with my doomed-to-be-an-orphan number 1, Pranzo di ferragosto. The charming tone of affectionate irony, the keenness of observation regarding everyday life, and the perfection of a narrative in which nothing is superfluous or missing —fluctuating between the implicit and the explicit, all within an impeccable rhythm and featuring performances of exceptional plausibility— define this achievement. What's more, a noble tribute to the magnificent traditions of Italian cinema and culture.
