What are your best/worst/favorites of this introspective Swedish director of strongly emotional dramas and epics?

[Klaus Weasley]

The only major Ingmar Bergman film I've seen is Fanny and Alexander which I loved (****). I've seen The Silence and From the Lies of the Marionettes which were both very interesting films.

I'm desperate to see Wild Strawberries, The Seventh Seal and Cries and Whispers.

Persona
Cries and Whispers

All of seen of him, thus far.

The sex story in Persona beats pretty much all porno, if you ask me...

Fanny and Alexander is Bergmans masterpiece.

He also made the greatest warfilm ever, Shame.

Perhaps the most erotic scene in cinema history and it's achieved simply through monologue, another reason Bergman is a master.

The most erotic, my immediate reaction when watching that for the first time.

One of my most favorite of directors; he caters to my knack for depression.

1. Persona (10/10)
2. Wild Strawberries (10/10)
3. Smiles of a Summer Night (10/10)
4. Cries and Whispers (9/10)
5. Fanny and Alexander (9/10)
6. The Seventh Seal (9/10)
7. Autumn Sonata (8/10)
8. Hour of the Wolf (8/10)

I still have loads to see from him...Scenes from a Marriage, From the Lives of Marionettes, The Virgin Spring, The Passion of Anna, The Silence, Through a Glass Darkly, The Magic Flute, The Magician...and on...

Anyone seen Liv Ullmann's film Bergman helped her with...called FAITHLESS?

His death is making me regret selling a good chunk of his films. One of my very favorites as a fledging filmgoer, and integral to getting me into the art movie circuit. Thank you Ingmar, and I look forward to revisiting your movies. It's been awhile.

The level attention he's getting...it's great. I know a two-minute blurb or a mention on the MSNBC sidescroller doesn't amount to much, and a football coach is receiving loads more attention, but the guy made slow, specialty art melodramas and it's endearing to see, well, IMDB bump its' headlines down several columns to devote a giant space to him. Not to mention papers like The Independent and the NY Times providing the occasion with frontpage space.

1. Scenes from a Marriage
2. Wild Strawberries
3. The Silence
4. Persona
5. Fanny and Alexander
6. Through a Glass Darkly
7. The Seventh Seal
8. Smiles of a Summer Night
9. Winter Light
10. Cries and Whispers
