Letterboxd's Top 100 Italian Films (as rated by Italian users)

I am becoming a big fan of using these kinds of lists to delve into a countries cinema and find the more obscure films from these countries. So after having done a version for France and Spain, I had to do one for Italy as well.

This list doesn't include documentaries or short films (less than 40 mins). Films must have more than 1,000 watches to be considered.

See other lists for the other countries:
