This thread is obviously designed to ellicit extreme views. I'll do my best to strike a moderate tone. I derive pleasure from isolated scenes and images from Fellini's post 8 1/2 period. But none of this films is sustained and coherent enough to measure up to earlier efforts.  Granted, "White Sheik" is no masterpiece. Fellini, who had no intention of becoming a director, was handed the script by a desperate producer, when Antonioni turned it down. It's quite charming though. Masterpieces like Nights of Cabiria and 8 1/2 were fully realized conceptions with much to say about post-war Italy, the creative process, social and economic pressures upon the artist, etc. Too many of his latter films celebrate the grotesque for its own sake without the depth of feeling and purpose of a film such as Todd Browning's Freaks. But all of Fellini's films are worth seeing, if only intermittently. I plan to view Amacord again, as I recall it fondly. Bigpoppa may have a point.
I am currently watching Kundun again. Will post soon.
I know film appreciation is subjective, but to call Lady Vanishes and Vertigo the worst Hitch is bizarre indeed.
