8 1/2
1963 2h 18m (Italy)
An early working title for 8 1/2 was "La Bella Confusione" (The Beautiful Confusion), and Federico Fellini's masterpiece is exactly that: A grand epic of one man's artistic crisis, a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.

ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER
1999 1n 41m (Spain)
Self-parody is part of Almodovar’s approach, but “All About My Mother” is also sincere and heartfelt; though two of its characters are transvestite hookers, one is a pregnant nun and two more are battling lesbians, this is a film that paradoxically expresses family values.
