Nights of Cabiria is one of my favorite movies. It's brilliant, right down to Cabiria's expression in the very last frame.

The Devil's Backbone was really good. It felt a little long and the pace was a little slow but it's really well done. I liked it a lot.

Fargo is great.

The Bicycle Thief is classic cinema. I first saw that in a film class. It's a great piece of cinema history.

La Vie En Rose - A bit long and again a little slow. Also the movie itself feels a little disjointed. That said, Marion Cotillard is AMAZING in it and its worth seeing just for her. I did like it though I don't know how often I could watch it. Mostly because Edith Piaf's life was quite sad - the movie's mood captures that. It's not an uplifter by any stretch =)

Great! Looks like I made some good choices. I started watching about two minutes of La Vie En Rose on the instant play, and stopped it with a "Holy crap, this is going to be heavy." I wanted to get the full value of it via big screen.

And I like sad movies. I don't know why . . .

It warms my heart to see Fitzcarraldo on your list, although i should warn that only a theater does it justice.

Eyeball: Ah, regret . . .I'll just have to turn the TV up really loud and sit really close, I guess . . .
