I liked David Lynch a lot when I was first starting in taking movies seriously when I was 17, but fell out of love with surrealism pretty quickly.
Do you have a ranking of your Fellini movies? "La Strada" is my #2 all-time, I liked "Nights of Cabiria", and I've always had mixed but generally positive feelings about "La Dolce Vita" (we had a long talk about decadence, or at least I did - you never responded back). 8 1/2 is one of those hit or misses between "art-house" fans. I didn't like it, but I've given the movie a couple of chances. I liked "i vitelloni" and thought "Ginger and Fred" was ALMOST like Gelsomina coming back to life, since the movie is about a reunion after all. Never saw his last one, something moon…. "Amarcord" had a good first half, still decent. "Satyrcon" is the one I turned off after 10 minutes (both times). I just saw "Il Bidone" and it's alright… I haven't seen "Intervista" yet.

Well I would rank "Satyricon" as number one. It plays with Greco-Roman myth, and that's a deal maker for me. I like the pre-Christian ambivalence about morality. I'm surprised that even for the lavish sets and imagery you would turn it off after 10 minutes.
Why did you not like "Satyricon"? It also sounds like you had an impulse reaction against it. I'm curious why you had no interest in watching it?
As for the decadence thread, I remember that and wanted to reply but lost track. Do you have a link to it? I'll revisit it.

I read it on here, can't remember who but the internet seems to criticize this movie without criticizing it. Just saying "overrated" over and over isn't much of a criticism. Nice to see people with good tastes.
