Most would agree he's one of the world's greatest directors with a style unique to his very personal vision. I haven't seen all his film, but I've seen a lot of them.

My favorites:

The Seventh Seal (1957)
Cries and Whispers (1982)
Fanny and Alexander (1972)
Through a Glass Darkly (1961)
Persona (1966)
Winter Light (1963)
Smiles of a Summer Night (1955)
Wild Strawberries (1957)
The Virgin Spring (1960)

Yours?

As a swede myself I have tried to avoid this subject, but I still wanna point out two movies The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries!
Those 2 movies is top 50. I certanly hope you don't think all swedes are gloomy like a bergman pic

I lived with a Swedish girlfriend in London in the early-'60s. I had to send her back home to Kalmar. She was too jolly for me.

Wild Strawberries is my absolute top film from all decades and nations, and The Seventh Seal is well up there too. He may or may not have made deeper, more subtle, or more innovative films since, but it was that pair which rocked the film world when they appeared.
