Solaris (Russia)

Armacord (Italy)


I definitely would consider SOLARIS. AMARCORD is a great choice, but it's only my 4th favorite Fellini movie! Italy was the most challenging country for me to pick from.

I considered both of these as well. Like I said, Italy was hardest, but Germany was also very difficult.

It was actually shot in Belarus, which is its own country now, so maybe you could cheat and count it?

I have to change # 1 to the MALTESE FALCON (1941), because I was just excited seeing ON THE WATERFRONT for the first time. But I must have seen the MALTESE FALCON over 5 times on TV as a kid alone, and at least 10 times since.
