Heh ironically I just ordered Jean and Manon so they should be in this week (can't wait). For the person who listed Cyrano de Bergerac, is it the Depardieu version? I've been looking for a great DVD release of that film for quite a while.

As for Italian films - a couple really come to mind - Amarcord (which I didn't like at first, but now that I "get it" I love it). And Salo, which is an experience unto itself - definitely not for the squeamish.
