Has anyone seen the Pasolini movie with the young Terrence Stamp where he visited a family and seduced each member? It was a great Italian movie. I forget the name of it.
JennyC:
My favorite movies choice is largely influenced by the characters in the movie as I tend to appreciate the characters more than other aspects of a movie.
Brokeback Mountain is in it’s own league
1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. Schindler’s List
3. Gone with the Wind
4. Casablanca
5. The God Father Trilogy
6. Gandhi
7. Pride and Prejudice (BBC 1995 Production. This one hardly qualifies as a movie, but I love Colin Firth’s Mr. Darcy and Lizzy)
8. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
9. Forrest Gump
10. Pretty Woman
11. Star War Trilogy
12. L.A. Confidential

Oh yes...this film is called Teorema, and it was made in 1968. I was lucky enough to see this one on the big screen, at a repertory screening to which my parents accompanied me. The subject would seem pretty transgressive even by today's standards, and I wonder how it was received in 1968. The young Mr. Stamp was quite the looker, wasn't he? And Anne Wiazemsky, who played the daughter and would become the second Mrs. Jean-Luc Godard, was very pretty in her own right.
My favorite Pasolini film, by the way, is the 1962 feature Mamma Roma, which enshrines a superb star performance by Anna Magnani.
Cheers,
Scott
