  • The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978, Olmi)
  • Wild Strawberries (1957, Bergman)

Art
  • Citizen Kane (1941, Wells)
  • 8 1/2 (1963, Fellini)
  • Fantasia (1940, Armstrong, Algar, Roberts, Satterfield, Sharpsteen, Hand, Luske, Handley, Beebe, Hee, Ferguson & Jackson)
  • Grand Illusion (1937, Renoir)
  • La Strada (1954, Fellini)
  • The Lavender Hill Mob (1951, Crichton)
  • The Leopard (1963, Visconti)

  • Metropolis (1927, Lang)
  • Modern Times (1936, Chaplin)
  • Napoleon (1927, Gance)

  • Stagecoach (1939, Ford)
  • 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, Kubrick)
  • The Wizard of Oz (1939, Fleming)

So does the Vatican's approval make you want to watch these films? Do you agree with their listings? Any notable omissions? And if they were to revive the list today, what would like to see omitted or included?
