    The Lucky Top Hat

    ★★★★

    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

    ★★★★

    "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

    Die chinesische Nachtigall

    "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

    ★★★★

    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

    ★★★★

    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
