No, I haven't.

Yeah, the end was a shock but perfectly fitting.

Talking of Mr Hilter, have you seen "Downfall" (aka "Der Untergang")? Incredible - really dark but totally engrossing.

No. Fascinating subject though, this man. I'll have to check those out.

On the "East German/DDR" tip, have you seen "Goodbye Lenin"? A great film, pretty bizarre, but both funny and touching. On the "70's West German violent hippies" front, try to track down a subtitled version of "Germany In Autumn (Deutschland Im Herbst)" - the best film about the Baader-Meinhof/West German terrorism stuff I've seen (including some brilliant bits by Fassbinder).

Goodbye Lenin is superb

For cold war german intruige - the book and indeed the film of "the spy who came in from the cold" is recommended

And um

Let's see

A Small Town in Germany, also from Le Carre is a decent read.. it's a fictionalised account of a potential future for West Germany, written in the early 70's.

I quite enjoyed Crabwalk by Gunther Grass

The Shining

^^Fucking amazing... the end never ceases to freak me out a bit..

I've watched tons and it still unsettles me quite a bit. The whole movie is fantastic. 3rd best Kubrick.

1st is a clockwork orange
2nd is 2001 a space oddesy

Yeah funny games looked fucking awful

Damn straight.

As I've said before, you've got good taste.

Anyone else frustrated with the ending of this one?

B+

NOW PLAYING...
