I have to watch a movie for my Italian class and write a one page summary on it, and I'm looking for a great one to watch. I recently saw Cinema Paradiso and LOVED it. Any suggestions?

It has to be an actually Italian film, so the Italian Job is out. Unless there's an Italian version I've never heard of other than the 2003 and 1969 versions...

Life is Beautiful-you cannot go wrong with this film.

Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto (1974)
Swept Away (International: English title)
A classic with Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato. Written and directed by Lina Wertmüller. One of my all time favorites.

Probably would have to be one of the various classic Italian Western films. they are classified as spaghetti Westerns. No Joke.

Classic from the 40/50 which "made history" for Italian cinema
Ladri di Biciclette http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040522/
Umberto D http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045274/
Roma Città Aperta http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038890/
More recent, Oscar winner
Mediterraneo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102426/
Life is Beautiful http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/
Il Postino http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110877/
Good movies about Italian history
Mussolini Ultimo Atto http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071880/
Il Prefetto di Ferro http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076564/
Popular and funny
Altrimenti Ci Arrabbiamo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069697/
(and any movies starring Bud Spencer and/or Terence Hill)
Siamo Uomini o Caporali? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048617/
I Due Colonnelli http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055936/
(and ANYTHING with Totò, although Totò should be seen and heard strictly in Italian)
Finally, my first choice which I think fit your needs 100% for many reasons: Tottruffa '62
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055535/
again starring Totò, is almost a legend in Italy, and is quoted in other Italian movies or shows as much as Star Trek in US movies or tv shows (especially Totò selling Fontana di Trevi to an Italian American tourist)...
