Thanks for the great suggestions, my and my girlfriends are getting together and having an Italian themed dinner/party tonight, so after we are planning on watching a movie, little descriptions on the movies would be great also! We hope to have lots of fun with ya'll help! Thanks

Hi A. Two great John Frankenheimer political thrillers: "Year of the Gun", set in Rome; and "Ronin", set in Paris & Provence.

Just re-released is the 1989 Best Foreign Film Academy Award winner from Italy, Cinema Paradiso. It played in NYC and LA this weekend and will be playing in more cities over the summer. This version is called the "director's cut" and adds about 50 minutes to the original. For those who have seen the original, most of what is added has to do with Toto, as a man, meeting his girlfriend from his youth, Elena, when he goes back to Sicily after being away for 30 years. <BR><BR>If you can't see the new version, rent the original and enjoy a terrific film.<BR><BR>

If this is about videos, then count in Life is Beautiful and Much Ado about Nothing. As soon as I post this, I will undoubtedly think of six more.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Any Merchant/Ivory film!

Rented Deja vu last weekend. Great scenes of Paris and London. I enjoyed the movie so much I watched it twice. Great scenes of Montmartre. Great love story also.

The '95 version of Othello, set in Venice. Truly heart-wrenching performances.

Book Chick Jul 10th, 2002 11:12 AM

"Much Ado About Nothing" with absolutely delicious venues in Tuscany!

Sue Jul 10th, 2002 02:17 PM

Italy - The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler & Jeremy Irons is in Tuscany.<BR>Just as an aside, does anyone know exactly where the wedding scene in the recent star wars movie was done? I'm assuming that was around the Italain Lakes somewhere - it looked glorious.
