Il Medico della Mutua (“Be sick…It’s Free,” starring Alberto Sordi, 1968).

Febbre da Cavallo (“Horse Fever,” directed by Steno, a light comedy, 1976).La Grande Guerra (“The Great War,” starring Alberto Sordi, Vittorio Gassman and Silvana Mangano, 1959): about the First World War, as a comedy - for me one of the best movies ever made.La Grande Bellezza(“The Great Beauty,” directed by Paolo Sorrentino, 2013).

Il Postino(“The Postman,” the last movie starred and directed by Massimo Troisi, 1994).Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, 1988).Amarcord (directed by Federico Fellini, 1973).Sedotta e Abbandonata (“Seduced and Abandoned,” starring Stefania Sandrelli, 1964).Divorzio all’Italiana(“Divorce Italian-Style,” starring Marcello Mastroianni and Daniela Rocca, 1961).Matrimonio all’Italiana (“Marriage Italian-Style,” starring Sofia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, directed by Vittorio De Sica, 1964).But my aim isn’t to present an objective list of the best movies, but to propose those that I enjoyed watching the most. 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
