Official "Italians Are the Greatst Contributors to CInema Ever" Thread
Guido wiggers aside, you have to feel tremendously grateful to the Italians for their mass contrribution to film. Not only did Sergio Leone and others revolutionize the Western genre of movies, but the endless directors who have made revolutionary horror movies are impressive too.

Anybody else particularly enthused with Italian cinema? Some of my favorites are Dario Argento, Umberto Bava, Lucio Fulci and Bruno Mattei.

Also worth mentioning are some great Italian-American directors like George A. Romero and Francis Coppola.

I like Italian films. I have movies directed by all those guys in my collection. I love how they always stick a fucked up scene amidst the shitty acting and godawful soudtrack. I'll be watching bored off my ass when all of a sudden there's a close-up of an eyeball getting impaled or a castration. HAHA

The last Itallian movie I bought was an obscure Spaghetti Western called "Mannata - A Man Called Blade". It was directed by Sergio Martino ( Torso, Mountain of the Cannibal God) and released of DVD courtesy of Blue Underground.  I bought it on impulse because the back looked cool. This movie is fucking hilarious. It has over the top violence and shitty acting, but the best part is the soundtrack. It's just this guy with an extremely deep voice singing about what's happening on screen.  The opening song..."You, walk alone, a soooolitaaarry MAN!!"  HAHAHA It sounds fucking doom!! (On a side note, in one of my posts I said I couldn't stop listening to Funeral's new songs. Well It was actually just one song, "Pendulum". It reminded me of the soundtrack to this movie.)  The main character is on a mission of revenge. He must reclaim his father's land from an evil bastard..."this was once your father's land!! YOU LOVE JUSTICE and YOU LOVE PEACE!!!!" (AAAHHAHAHAHAH!!) and save a town from an evil mining company. The film is worth getting just for the soundtrack. In the making of clip the director talks about how he needed a deep "negro's" voice for the soundtrack.

Yeah, some of the more obscure Spegetthi/spaghetti wannabe westerns are painfully bad. Still better than any of that pussy crap with that fatass John Wayne.

I too am a huge fan of Italian cinema.  I think the Italian film industry fell apart for some reason or another during the eighties because I haven't really seen anything Italian that came out after like '85 and it seems like I remember reading something about it....I recently bought A Sergio Leone film Called "Duck You Sucker" that I wasn't aware existed until a few months ago and its pretty fucking good.  It's not as good as the Leone movies with Eastwood, but its still pretty fucking entertaining.  All the classic crazy Sergio Leone close ups and unusual camera shit and a killer Ennio Morricone score.  I also am a huge fan of old Italian horror and Giallo shit.  See, a few years back I started looking on the internet for these old Italian schlock movies and at that time all that was available was bootlegs.  I began amassing a modest collection of these movies from bootleg sites, usually they were about $18 a peice for kind of shitty, but reasonable quality bootleg VHS tapes dubbed from Japanese laser disks.  After a while I noticed all of these old Itallian Giallos and Horror movies were being released on DVD by a company called Anchor Bay (thats the only company I knew of releasing the shit at the time).  It was like my wildest fantasy was coming true.  Now theres like 10 companys re-releasing old Italian trash movies in super great quality frequently with director and actor commentaries and interviews and all kinds of cool shit on them, and on top of that they are almost always under $15 and frequently under $10.  Shit, you can even find reviews for them super easily now so you actually know what the fuck your getting before you buy it.  When I first started checking them out I was just blindly getting shit based on who directed it, and as I'm sure many of you know, the quality of these films varies wildly from film to film, with about three or four out of like 2000 directors having some consistency in his out put.  It really is a golden age for fans of foreign horror.  I think at some point people just getting into the shit will be jealous of how easy it is to get this shit right now...maybe I'm wrong but it just doesn't seem like shit like this should be so easy to get.  It feels like an "underground" kind of thing to me but its not.  You can find tons of this shit at fucking suncoast video and shit.  It's fucking awesome.

Which, among these non-metal expressions, is the most gay? (No metalhead should EVER say any of these under any circumstance - do not even read them aloud!)
