Carefully Selected From The Pool Of Greats

Cinema Paradiso


Quiet simply the best film I have ever seen. Beautiful, lyrical, sad and happy at once.

It also contains my all time favorite piece of movie dialogue I wont give it away, but the exchange between mother and child when the older Salvatore finally returns to Sicily and her mother wants to know whether Cinema Paradiso you need a break. Heartbreaking. If you get the chance, try to find the original version (on VHS?) The tenor of the entire history of the changes between two versions, and I find the directors cut much sadder.

Ignore those who have less than 5 stars I do not know what they are talking about, trust me!
