1.   Three Brothers (1981)

2.   Salvatore Giuliano (1962)

3.   Christ Stopped at Eboli (1979)

4.   Hands over the City (1963)

5.   The Moment of Truth (1965)

6.   The Truce (1997)

7.   Carmen (1984)

8.   Many Wars Ago (1970)

9.   Lucky Luciano (1974)

* * * 1/2 (Out of * * * *)

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.
