I was registered as a film major for the first 6 months of university. I took film 100 and we watched a bunch of obscure foreign films and I realized I didn't have it in me to be a film major. I remember watching The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon, some Bicycle show (I think it was Italian) and something about steps in Russia... I also later took a Film 200 class where we learned how to use old SLR cameras and take artsy photographs, and then make videos using old school video cameras. It was a fun class, but I don't have the eye for the artsy stuff that was needed to really succeed as a film major. I more so just liked doing the technical work of editing and making videos that would make people laugh. I'm actually in 100 now, the film department here is more in the style of continuity, suspense, and drama than I care to be which made me think of moving to studio art but its too late to do that as a major. We're actually watching only one foreign film in the course, but I do need to get the technical elements in my education. I actually used to watch a large amount of films and mostly foreign to the point that when I did watch films in English, I would watch them with subtitles on and not notice. I think you mean Bicycle Thieves. Less obscure really good films (in no order), Requiem for a Dream Do the Right Thing Citizen Kane Children of Men Thin Red Line There Will Be Blood Full Metal Jacket

Hes not a good actor but I liked those two movies. One of his worst acting scenes ever is when they are going to rob the bank and he says, "I'm an F B I agent." worst acting line ever I thought.
I liked Point Break I think because I surfed for over half my life and I got a huge rush out of my one sky dive.

My list is aggravatingly close to Saska's. This is going to sound funny but I don't remember so many of my favorite movies. Trying to think about my top 5s I can't even remember most of my favorites..

saska....The Abyss and Contact are alien films. both are great. If you get the chance,watch them. I will make my lists as you have done with some more genres but its going to take some time. I thought the abyss was okay, but nothing special. But I haven't seen it but once a couple of years ago. And I don't remember it that we'll so it couldn't have been that great right? I guess I need to watch it again.
