Ten things I love about you

The cinema program of the summer

The rankings of the best ones of ever (actresses, actors, directors, movies) drawn up by Paolo Mereghetti, critic of the newspaper Corriere della Sera and author of the dictionary of the cinema par excellence, Il Mereghetti.

Fifth episode: Italian comic movies!

Tenth position

In tenth position among the best Italian comic movies chosen by the Mereghetti dictionary there is Taxi Girl by Michele Massimo Tarantini, year 1977. Edwige Fenech much more undressed than dressed, for a series of adventures of the taxi driver Marcella, girl of willing investigative skills with another propensity to get into troubles. On Mereghetti dictionary has two stars

Ninth position

Boris Il film of 2011 is the only recent comedy to make its way into the top ten of the Mereghetti dictionary. Directed by Giacomo Ciarrapico, Mattia Torre, Luca Vendruscolo, borns from the homonymous TV series and gives way to the great dubber Francesco Pannofino to put his face on the screen. With him the smallest of the Guzzanti brothers, Caterina. At the center of the story the shabby adventures of a director who passes from the TV to the cinema. Three stars and ninth position

Eighth position

If a title becomes a proverbial sentence there must be a reason. It means that it has found way in the imagination. Eccezzziunale... Veramente (Exceptional... Really) with Abatantuono that plays three supporters, the A.C. Milan supporter Donato, the F.C. Inter supporter Franco and the F.C. Juventus supporter Tirzan. Year 1982, directed by Carlo Vanzina, two and a half stars but eighth position according Mereghetti

Seventh position

The perfect comedy is perhaps the one that manages to make you laugh, cry and move together. Bianco, rosso e Verdone (White, red and Verdone) of 1981 is that stuff there. Carlo Verdone in the roles of all the protagonists, but with him exceptional supporting actors such as Sora Lella (Elena Fabrizi aka Lella Fabrizi aka Sora Lella). Three stars on Mereghetti dictionary. Seventh position

Sixth position

In sixth position in the ten best Italian comedies of ever Paolo Mereghetti places Il secondo tragico Fantozzi (The second tragic Fantozzi), directed by Luciano Salce, 1976. In Montecarlo with the duke-count Semenzana, humiliated at dinner by the Countess Serbelloni Mazzanti Viendalmare. But especially no Italy's football match because he has to go to the company's cineforum. Legendary. Three stars
