Pierrot le Fou
Pierrot le Fou (1965) is a French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It follows the events of a man who runs away with his nanny and former flame, Marianne, as they travel further and further into the South of France in attempt to find Marianne's "brother", as well as in attempt to escape the Algerian gangsters she happens to be involved with. The movie is very stylistically strong, belonging to the never formally organized Nouvelle Vague/French New Wave movement. Radical experiments with editing and striking visuals make this film a classic example of European art cinema.

Watch out!
Because you never know when a 100 foot tall Anita Ekberg will appear, wandering the streets of your hometown, ready to have some "fun"! From Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio of Boccaccio '70, by Federico Fellini.

Giulietta degli spiriti
Giulietta degli Spiriti was Federico Fellini's first film in color. The surrealistic imagery and wicked illusions created only by the master of fantasy and baroque himself, Fellini, were made even more exquisite by the set and costume designer, Piero Gherardi. Along with Giulietta delgi Spiriti or "Juliet of the Spirits" in English, Gheraradi also designed the sets and costumes of Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" and "8 1/2". A film must have meritorious costumes in order for it to foster and blossom into a classic. The film itself is a luscious trip, delving deep into the fascinations and imagination of an eccentric 1960's housewife. It's a lot of interesting than one might think, with the hallucinatory flashbacks, modern day prophets, and sinning spirits.
Part of the finale, and one of the best parts of the film:

Mothra
Beast, monster, savage, kaiju!!! The Divine Moth who first debuted in a novel by Takehiko Fukunaga later moved on to films co-starred alongside Godzilla (original Japanese circa 1960s); a major enemy. Mothra will bite the enemy's tail as well as use her psychic abilities to conquer all. I just like the way Mothra looks...
