Watch the first 20 minutes of 8½, realize it's shit and never turn back.

THIS

>watching the shitty ripoff before the original

If you've never seen an Italian film then Cinema Paradiso is a beautiful introduction Then I'd suggest watching Malena and La Vita E' Bella, maybe a spaghetti western after that.

Save some classics like La Dolce Vita for once your a bit more comfortable with the style and you'll appreciate it more.

I don't want to give the impression that Italian cinema is something old, dusty and out of touch with the modern world.

La vita è bella isn't even Benigni best movie, it just won an oscar because
>muh holocaust

It's only smellz

Yeah, but it's probably his most accessible film which is why it's a good place to start.

but Italy is old, dusty and out of touch.

check out the works of mario salieri

I once saw Begnini at the hotel I was staying in Venice. He was there too apparently. I greeted him and he greeted back, nice guy.

No it isn't. You have been living under Hollywood culture monopoly.

No I am Italian.

The country is old and stuck in the past.
Most west is, but Italy more.

il mostro is a lot better than piccolo diabolo

sedosa e abbandonata is my favorite italian comedy

i'd say the bicycle thieves, deep red, la dolce vita, the good, the bad and the ugly are good introductory movies

>The country is old and stuck in the past.

Wich is a good thing, progressivism
has failed.

Geez it was better when comedy showed butts and titties.

I miss those times.

Yes but as discussed in a previous thread: THE EUROPEAN CUT

The yanks butchered this movie.

>Cinema Paradiso

I agree with this

Cinema Paradiso, too, has different cuts.
The Italian one is longer, but more complete.

italian spiderman (2007)

Mario Bava, Fulci, Di Leo

Lol not a real movie.

Il dark cavaliere

...

avoid neorealism unless you want to be turned off Italian movies forever, also avoid anything Fellini directed

Start with 60s genre flicks and westerns

Thanks Netflix.
