Agreed!

I have seen Los Olvidados multiple times. It's an astounding and quite heart wrenching film.

I admire Buñuel on multiple levels: his political and religious views, his great instinct for story, and his formidable craftsmanship in moviemaking.

Have you seen The Exterminating Angel?

Los Olvidados was quite different from his other movies. You rightly used the word 'heart wrenching'. He was more into sarcasm but Los Olvidados seemed to be a neo-realist movie much like some Italian movies of that age.

The Exterminating Angel was just as awesome for different reasons. The depiction of wealthy bourgeoisie and satire on their resignation of hope was so involving that even I thought I was part of that dinner team. Bunuel was just the master of dark humour. Very similar to that movie was The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972).

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is another of my favorite Buñuel movies. The social commentary revolving around the gardener/priest and the banana republic ambassador/heroin smuggler are examples of the brilliance of that screenplay (written by Jean-Claude Carriere).
