Vittorio De Sica ---- the master of masterpieces I was blown away by Bicycle Thieves and then appreciated Umberto D. a lot. When I saw Shoeshine (1946) then I thought wow, it can't get better than that. Those are my three favorites
Check out -The Children Are Watching (considered the first neo-realism) -Sunflower (best love story ever!)
-Two Women (another great movie with Sophia Loren) -The Roof -Miracle in Milan

Thanks a lot! I would try to see them. Two Women (1960) sounds something that I may like a lot.

Numbers are approximate and open to interpretation. I didn't include Kubrick's Fear And Desire even though I've seen an extremely grainy copy of it. I didn't count short films (run less than an hour), 'segments' or TV episodes but did include documentaries and TV movies.
100% Kubrick 12/12 90.91 Chaplin 10/11 90.00 Nolan 9/10 85.71 Aronofsky 6/7 78.18 Hitchcock 43/55 77.14 Spielberg 27/35 76.47 Scorsese 26/34 73.47 Allen 36/49 73.08 Wilder 19/26 72.73 FF Coppola 16/22 72.73 Cameron 8/11 71.43 Truffault 15/21 63.16 Kazan 12/19 62.50 PT Anderson 5/8 57.14 Wyler 20/35 56.25 Kurowsawa 18/32 50.00 Bay 7/14 32.14 Bergman 18/56 Wow, that's awesome. I need to work on getting your scores such as Kubrick 12/12 and Wilder 19/26. Glad to see a Chaplin fan. You are a Canadian if I remember correctly. I don't mean any ill will towards some of our American friends but they should probably reconsider changing their view son Chaplin. Many times when I brought him up I met sarcasm and derision by replies that immediately compared him with Buster Keaton (who is no less than Chaplin in film making or acting) and insinuated how he was lesser artist than Keaton. Even some Americans who speak against McCarthyism are probably still not able to see how a propaganda was run against Charlie Chaplin to deny his greatness. For me Chaplin remains one of the greatest names in history of cinema. [alt="" src="https://www.thevintagenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/fgdgfhfghs-1280x720.jpg"] In the silent era there was little to complain about between Chaplin and Keaton (and don't forget about Harold Lloyd). Chaplin though was able to enjoy great success in the sound era. I don't have access to my IMDb account (and I haven't really tried in a long while to get back in), so I'm mostly going on memory as to what I've seen or not. I'm 98% sure I've seen Chaplin's Countess From Hong Kong but it didn't sound very familiar so I decided to count it as unseen, plus I wanted Kubrick as my only 100% director. I've also seen plenty of Chaplin and others' short films but for the longest time I never used to vote for titles under an hour on IMDb so even if I got back in it would be hard to say what I've seen or not. I went through a phase where I tried to watch as many movies for free, by director. It was a 3 pronged attack: I worked in a video store that had a lot of older movies, the local library system and TCM.

I have seen about 25 Umberto Lenzi movies. He might be in the top spot. Not sure who would be close.

You understand just how difficult it is to watch Naruse movies? You are a true cinephile! Take a bow, man. Thanks. Naruse is a tough one, probably going to be my next "white whale". Most of the films I've seen are early ones from the 30s many of which are (or were) on YouTube. No matter how much you see though, there are always going to be gaps and different priorities. I've still not seen a single Chaplin or Keaton film for example.
