My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Amarcord (1974)

Federico Fellini made many great movies but none of are as fun and enjoyable as this one about the various people living in a small Italian village during pre-WWII Fascist Italy.  Like a wonderful collage he gives you a sense of memory and a celebration of life in all its ups and downs.  The central character is a young boy named Titta but for me it's the town that is the hero, and maybe the boy and the town are the same, symbols of all the growing up Italy is about to go through in the coming years.  Grade: A-
