an interesting selection...

What did you think of The Bicycle Thieves? That's one of my alltime favs.

What are some of your favorite movies?

It's pretty clear her final film school project ended with a fïn before she flunked out.

The Bicycle Thieves was very interesting, but frankly if I were not in film studies and didn't know anything about Italian neo-realism / the production I probably would have found it pretty forgettable (which is not to say bad).

Do you mean my favourite films of those we've watched (we're up to Man With a Movie Camera) or in general?

be sure to express your views on the films.
Oh, and be less trifling, kitch.
