Ingmar Bergman site now launched in English.
There are some great things on this site if you hunt around, including videos, interviews, and images (in the Media links for individual films). I was interested to discover that, for the 1994 Göteborg Film Festival, Bergman chose his eleven (why eleven?) favourite films:
The Circus (Charlie Chaplin, USA 1928)I would probably have a couple of these in my top eleven - La Strada and Andrei Rublov - although I haven't seen all the others.

Orchestra Conductor (Andrzej Wajda, Poland 1979)
Raven's End (Bo Widerberg, Sweden 1963)
