1. Three Brothers (1981)

5. The Moment of Truth (1965)

1. The Palermo Connection (1989)

Note: Some of these I have seen on DVD and ones that are not on Blu-Ray and DVD I have seen on VHS. I have not seen The Mattei Affair but that is because it is not available on either Blu-Ray and DVD or VHS. I have heard great things about it though and since Francesco Rosi died last year, I am hoping that filmmakers or film historians who loved his work will try to get The Mattei Affair available in the USA on either Blu-Ray and DVD or VHS since that one seems to be one of his many highly celebrated films.
