Hi london. What I did was pluck some of their favourite films from a variety of sources in order to put those 4 lists together. But yes, they are lists of films that each director expressed a liking of / admiration for at different points in their lives.

Very interesting thread Petrolino. Don Bunuel has listed his favourite films in his memoirs named "My Last Sigh". I wonder if you used that as your source. While reading it, I was inspired to check out some of his favourites like La Grande Boufee and rewatch Jeux Interdits again. I like how Tarkovsky singled out Nazarin, which I believe is one of Bunuel's best films but it doesn't get the same recognition as his French period work.

I also remember reading that Bergman detested majority of Antonioni's work, so it's very interesting to see La Notte appear on his list of favourites.

Hi delon. 'My Last Sigh' was one of the sources I was using because it was being cross-referenced at different film review sites on line.

The site where I found 'La Notte' also contained quotes in which Ingmar Bergman totally trashed Michelangelo Antonioni's cinema work, though he was quotes as saying he found one other Antonioni picture to be decent. I read a lot of trashing from Bergman of other directors' films.

Ingmar Bergman had a copy of Chaplin's The Circus that he always showed his guests in his own little cinema on his birthdays, according to a latter day interview.

I do. Particularly Jean-Pierre Melville because I've seen most of his films.

It's always been difficult to obtain copies of Costa-Gavras' films here in U K. I've only seen 'Z' (1969) among his early works.

How about you?
