Yes I will be using this thread for recommendations. My local library does have Wild Strawberries, though.

[Boner M]

The Seventh Seal (1957) - 6.5

Cries and Whispers (1973) - 4
Scenes from a Marriage (1973) - 9
Face to Face (1976) - 5
Autumn Sonata (1978) - 7
Fanny and Alexander (1982) - 8.5 (I saw the 5-hour version in the early 00's and the 3 hr last year, I remember absolutely adoring the former and really liking the latter, so I've assigned an arbitrary average rating)

Moreso than with most directors, I feel these ratings could change drastically depending where I am in life.
