    1) It was directed by Federico Fellini. 2) The bawdy, outrageous humor. 3) The beautiful peacock scene.

    Don't forget the visuals; they seem to speak for themselves!

    1) The evocations of universal feelings: looking at one's past with both mature eyes, but also a warm sense of nostalgia. 2) The beautiful color cinematography that Blu-Ray only enhances. 3) The non-stop parade of unforgettable characters.

    1. I grew up in the southern United States, but was still able to identify with a film about growing up in Fascist Italy. 2. Any one of the unforgettable characters could easily represent someone in any of our own lives: the unattainable woman, the liar, the authority figure, the woman in tobacco shop, the mentally ill uncle.................... 3. Nina Rota's perfect score.

    1) Nino Rota's alluring score. 2) The caricatural and relatable characters. 3) Giuseppe Rotunno's incredible cinematography. 3a) The Grand Hotel and Il Rex.

    Anyone who grew up Irish-Catholic needs to see how Italian youth deal with the Church.
