The World of Apu (Satyajit Ray, 1959)

Head and shoulders above the first two, although I remember liking Pather Panchali a lot at the time.  The scenes with Aparna are some of the most romantic in film.  Beautifully shot across a variety of locations too.








Three Crowns of the Sailor (Raul Ruiz, 1983)

Seems like a precursor to stuff like Mysteries of Lisbon and Big Fish.  Not entirely my cup of tea but it's hard not to like a seafaring adventure.
