Like Scorsese, Allen includes Kubrick, though for his early Paths of Glory rather than the more widely-seen 2001. If that vote represents Allen’s contemplative, morally serious side, then the vote for Luis Buñuel’s enduringly funny surrealist farce The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie represents his well-known predilection for humor, often class-based, which occasionally melts into silliness. It comes as no shock that Ingmar Bergman makes the list, given Allen’s well-documented and openly admitted enthusiasm for (and, in cases like Interiors, direct imitation of) the man who made The Seventh Seal. The Seventh Seal (Ingmar Bergman, 1957).The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (Luis Buñuel, 1972).The Bicycle Thieves (Vittorio de Sica, 1948).
