semi-political love movies. My favorite Antonioni film is Eclipse. But if you want to get all
hip and really cute, try his film Blow-Up. (Antonioni movies, by the way, are an acquired taste.
There is usually (earlier films) a whole LOT of time reserved for quiet, intellectual contemplation
of the crushing burden of existential loneliness we all must endure.![]()

(If you want movies that rapidly connect the dots, his ain't them.)
But getting back to the original question: For some high-class crash-bang just oozing with the grim,
sexual masculinity of Steve McQueen, you should try Peter Yates' Bullitt -- god how I LOVE this movie!
the original question wasn't about what films i would like to see at the cinema if i had a magic wand [it'd probably be jaws]. it was, out of the two showing at my local cinema [taxi driver and pulp fiction] which one should i go see? in fact, it isn't really about which is the better film [i mean, i've got both of them on dvd, i could watch them now if i wanted], but rather which one would be the best to watch on a big screen, or even just to say "i've seen that at the cinema"?
