Over a hundred.. I'd recommend Vittorio De Sica and Luchino Visconti

Revolver and then a handful of spaghetti westerns are probably about it for me.

Not a huge amount.
8 1/2 La Dolce Vita La Strada Il Bidone Juliet of the Spirits Fellini's Satyricon
L'aaventura L'Eclisse La Notte Blow Up
Bicycle Thieves The Children are Watching Us
La commare secca
Not a lot, but a solid track record. I'm not counting The Last Emperor, though.
According to some lists of top Italian movies, Once Upon A Time in America is included as Italian, and I wouldn't have thought to include that either. Excellent film, but it didn't strike me as Italian as much as it did a slice of an Italian American experience. I didn't include it for the same reason I didn't include The Last Emperor. Once Upon A Time in America struck me as about as Italian as Jean Renoir's the River struck me as French, i.e. not at all.

I've never even heard of Cruel Jaws before. Seems like the actual film is lame.
But I think I should watch it though for one reason only. As a matter of fact I'm sure I should.
So therefore I'm glad I created this here, topic.

Have you not seen any Giallo films or spaghetti westerns? |

Have you not seen any Giallo films or spaghetti westerns? Giallo films apparently yes. I had to look them up. I've seen Suspiria (1977) and Blood and Black Lace. What a cool genre, though!
I didn't think to include Spaghetti westerns either. I've seen the trilogy of which The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a part. I can never remember its name, but I didn't think to include those either. I guess they're Italian in origin but not in setting or language?

Yeah, most spaghetti westerns take place in America (though many filmed in Spain and Italy) and are dubbed. Meaning that the director has all the actors speak their native language and then the non-English speaking actors have English dubbed over them in post-production. |

That does open it up a little bit but not by much. I had difficulty with A Fistful of Dollars because it was too similar to Yojimbo, even though it was a really good movie. I liked The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly a lot, but don't very well recall For A Few Dollars more, and that's about it except for Once Upon A Tim in the West, which I have not seen. I didn't make the connection actually for the same reason I didn't make the connection to Suspiria. I guess I was expecting Italian to be the dominant spoken language in the movie to ring my bell as an Italian movie. |

It is a Hollywood movie directed by Clint Eastwood that has an almost entirely Japanese cast who speak Japanese. 90% of the dialogue is spoken in Japanese. That should answer the question for you. |

According to my Letterboxd account 170 films with Italy as one of the producing countries (sure a lot of these aren't actual "Italian" films) and 51 films in Italian language.
Most of those would be from Fellini, Antonioni, and Visconti.
I've seen a few from De Sica, Rossellini, and Bertolucci. Still no Pasolini
Only spaghetti westerns I've seen are the Leone ones and only Giallo are a few Argentos and one Mario Bava
