JAN HIMP UND DIE KLEINE BRISE (Germany, 1934) written by Hans Leip. An excellent book for kids, kinda in the vein of Erich Kästner, but better written when it comes to Leips use of dialogues. 50 pages to go, and it's clear I will be reading much more by Leip in the future. I'll probably pick up his ...

i was wrong its not the main thief its an auxiliary thief! i was thinking of "the italian job" They are skiing in the snow in The Italian Job? Doesn't it take place in California or something? Glad you found it!!! I still have to watch it!!! [I'm obsessed with Heist films and I've been wa...

Anyways, there shouldn't be more than 200 or 300 prominent feature lenght heist films that were made between 2000 and 2007.
And how many of them have scenes in the snow?
Shouldn't be THAT hard to find out, I would guess.

Maybe THE ICE HARVEST (2005, Ramis)? Haven't seen it myself yet (though I've bought the DVD some years ago), so I don't wanna check the plot description because of spoilers and such.

Yeah, no snow and skiing in Matchstick Men...

i love danish cinema of that time too, which is why i've still got two more holger-madsens i'm gonna suffer :( (due to unfortunate obsession with hot sexy valdemar psilander :D) I can understand the Psilander obsession (though he's not my type) - I'm also trying to watch most of his stuff. 8-) That...

WHAT FILM IS THIS!! - from 2000 to 2007 - heist movie? either jewels or a bank - group heist. the main thief's daughter is involved? like maybe they're kinda estranged? and she's also a thief? - has action scene with snow and skiing at some point - possibly in the alps? ANY IDEA????????????????? So...

I remember watching a Latin American film once and thinking "oh ok so this is just very clearly the grammatical inspiration for vertigo" but i don't remember the name. it basically did the zoom-out-add-depth-vertigo thing exactly as hitch would later do it. p sure the film is either Argen...

they're all totally constipated and creepily obsessed with innocence and purity to the point i wonder about his mental health That's the 2 main reasons why I stopped watching Holger-Madsen stuff some years ago. :lol: Couldn't stand Trip to Mars either. Such a fascist film as well! There was simply ...

Watched ECHO IN THE MOUNTAINS (1959) by the genius that was Masahiro Makino. My 4th Makino and it was excellent!

started watching route 181, but had to stop 1 hour in out of rage. not sure there's anything i could say about it that won't get me banned or censored Didn't know the film was SO cotroversial... :o Is it a propaganda piece for the Palestinians or what irked you that much? I haven't seen it myself, ...

A wonderful new thread!

Watched MEINE FREUNDIN BARBARA ("My Girlfriend Barbara" - directed by Fritz Kirchhoff, Germany, 1937) at the cinema, another Screwball Comedy masterpiece from the 1930s. The Germans made so many of those, it's incredible!

https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-albums-you-must-hear-before-you-die-2021 i got 50% on this :lol: i'm sure i do better with the movies list. I also did this and I have 3% (34 out of 1001). :lol: Basically, this seemed like a completely random selection of 1001 albums that (probably) made or are ...

letterboxd says I've seen only 18 of her films (I thought I'd seen way more). I was never a fan of her as an actress (I more or less dislike her and her acting), but she starred in so many great movies!!! :hearteyes: :hearteyes: :hearteyes: Apparently, directors love here (I absolutely can't see why...

Phew, those were the times when I watched a lot of newly released stuff at cinemas and festivals... Apparently I've seen more than 150 films from this year, but it's been a while for most of them and there are many I don't remember at all and more that I wouldn't suspect that I had seen them if they...

That one's been watching me from its shelf and wandering into my hands for 2 months now, beckoning me to read it.

I'm currently reading my first book by Elisabeth Langgässer, GANG DURCH DAS RIED published in 1936. It is outstanding in every possible way and Langgässer is incredible in what she does with the German language. I picked this up by chance at the local library, and it's about a French guy in Germany ...
