I finally saw 'The Lives Of Others'
 

It lived up to the hype for me and was very enjoyable. There is a lot of good stuff coming out of Germany lately. Downfall is another one that comes to mind straight away.

Glad you liked it :)

Downfall added.......

I just watched that movie this weekend. I kept skipping past it thinking that it didn't sound all that interesting, but after so many people on here said how great it was, I finally gave in. And I'm glad I did... Excellent movie :thumbsup

I've had the Netflix Blu Ray for about 2 weeks...I'll watch it tonight.

downfall was incredible!

Downfall really was something very special. Peaches, don't watch it when you need an uplift.

There is a scene in there involving children and suicide tablets that is just as close as I have ever come to 'feeling' for a Nazi.

Oh shit - moving it down the list - this isn't the month for that.

This is one that I keep picking up and haven't watched yet.
I will have to add it to the list.

I know *hugs*

The Lives of Others is awesome. Agreed, lots of good films coming out of Germany and The US and Scotland I think is got real game at the moment. Check out in no particular order Half Nelson, Red Road, The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford, No Country For Old Men, Running With Scissors, Hallam Foe, The Chumscrubber, Eastern Promises, Man About Town and Shortbus.

For some reason I followed it up with My Super-Ex Girlfriend and boy did that suck.
