Films get dated. And we get older and start to dislike what
attracted us before. Still, some of us keep "the favorites"list forever.My list of favorites had changed
and a lot of it fell out of the list, including Pasolini
Bunuel and above mentioned "L'Avventura". The "hate" list
though, started to grow and added "Cinema Paradiso", "Life is beautiful" and much more to ever hated classics as
"Death in Venice", "Andrey Rublev" /and all Tarkovsky/ and
"The Sounds of music". The cornball comes in different forms, but those packed as "intellectual" is no less junk
than any Hollywood junk, just not so straightforward.
