How are you today, Dani?!!!!!!

I was about to say the same thing!
Though you forgot Bertolucci!
What would be my pick for greatest movie to come out of Italy?
L'Avventura! (Though when I was her age, my favorite was
Shoeshine.)
As for appropriate hyperbole, I think one could argue this:
8-1/2 is the most beautiful black-and-white movie of the 60s!!!!

Well, I don't know. I wouldn't be me. That said: Borzage was not one of the filmmakers we studied at my film school.
