Granted, depending on who you ask, some of those are more minor works than others. For instance, I know plenty of people who think Autumn Sonata isn't as good as other Bergman films. Yet, Peter Cowie believes Autumn Sonata is Bergman's best film from the latter part of his career. That statement is crazy in my view, because Bergman's best late film (and possibly greatest, period) is Fanny and Alexander, damn it! Heh. With a filmmaker this talented, maybe it doesn't matter what his best film is. Maybe everyone can just have their own favorite based on how it moved them personally.
EDIT: I think it's clear that I love Fanny and Alexander. See the poster?
