Favorite SCENE from a Fellini Film

[joeybee12]

In keeping with the Fellini theme, this got me thinking. The Ecclesiastical fashion Show in Roma is a hoot, and Guileta's looking up at the camera at the end of Juliet of the Spirits is probably the most amazing non-verbal piece of acting around. But I'm going with the memory sequence of 8-1/2 where his mother wraps him in clean towels and whisks him upstairs to bed--it breaks my heart.

1. Amaracord-when the dad goes ballistic

And ends up biting his own had he's so frustrated. Then the Grandpa does the farting thing. Also the "I want a woman!" scene. Oh and there's the scene where it snows...Oh forget it. The whole darn movie is full of excellent scenes.

2. I'd forgotten the farting scene until I re-saw the movie last night

I just died!

5. A friend borrowed our film

which was in Italian and she accidentaly taped over it. It took her a while to find an Italian lauguage copy of the movie because she knew how much it meant to me. She's indeed a dear friend.

6. The peacock in the snow...

...and the water-buffalo in the fog.

3. Other: La Strada when...

Giulietta Masina can't say "Zampano arrives" properly.
