  The Lucky Top Hat 1932

  ★★★★ Watched 05 Mar 2024 3

  This turns out to be exactly how you would imagine an endearing, funny (Weimar) comedy with a love-struck Felix Bressart in the leading role! To me a little gem I'd love to watch over and over again 💗

  The Dead 1987

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Dec 2024

  "You have taken the east from me;
  you have taken the west from me;
  you have taken what is before me
  and what is behind me;
  you have taken the moon,
  you have taken the sun from me;
  and... my fear is great,
  you have taken God from me!"

  Die chinesische Nachtigall 1929

  Watched 03 Dec 2024

  "Oh, Nachtigall, wie flötest du so süß im Bambushain des kaiserlichen Gartens. Hold ist die Nacht. Der Mond steht voll am Himmel und spiegelt sich im Fluss."

  The Chinese Nightingale is quite loosely and humorously based on the fairy tale by H. C. Andersen. It's the first animated advertising sound film from 1928 by none other than Julius Pinschewer and certainly (one of) the best imaginable commercial(s) for the emerging sound film... 😃

  The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari 1920

  ★★★★ Rewatched 28 Feb 2022

  4th viewing – my quintessential quote for now:

  "Ich will nicht ruhen, bis ich die furchtbaren Dinge, die ringsum geschehen, begreife–."

  // "I won't rest until I get to the bottom of these dreadful deeds"

  Carol 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Feb 2022

  Me falling in love with Therese Belivet who's falling in love with Carol Aird --
  If I had just an idea how magical and well-crafted this film is, I certainly wouldn't have put it off for years <3
