My Top 100 Favorite Films: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls071561044/
In addition to those already mentioned:
"Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring" (2003)Visuals and story are mesmerizing.
"Brother Sun, Sister Moon" (1972) Gorgeous visuals. Some scenes are reminiscent of paintings; others (such as those of Francis' audience with the Pope) of mosaics such as can be seen in some of the churches in Ravenna.
"Jesus of Nazareth" Again painterly visuals. Zefferelli had an artist's eye.
"Le Hussard sur le toit" I(The Horseman on the Roof)Stunning scenery and story of two people one a young Italian colonel on the run in France from the Austrian authorities during the Italian Risorigimento who meets a lovely young woman searching for her much older husband as both flee a cholera epidemic.
"Fiorile"
"La Notte di San Lorenzo" (The Night of the Shooting Stars")
"Ciao, Professore"
Au Revoir Les Infants"
"L' Albero degli Zoccoli" (The Tree of Wooden Clogs")
"Enchanted April"
I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.
I don't think that these have been mentioned:
Vatel (2000)
Black Narcissus (1947)
Romeo and Juliet (1968)
A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935)
