get a netflix account and limit your movie watching to the output of true auteurs like I do... Bergman, Fellini, Antonioni, Kurosawa, Truffaut, Coppola, Scorsese ...
90% of what you watch should be written or directed (ideally both) by an Italian or Italian-American. The remainder by Frenchmen, Swedes, or Japanese. If it is not this way you're wasting your time. Very few exceptions to this rule exist.
I do like Edgar Bergman and Charlie McCarthy from time to time.
I think neither was Italian.
Although Charlie McCarthy did have a lot in common with Pinocchio.
EDIT: Here's Bergman and McCarthy with a famous Italian American from the film business.
