7 - Peter Weir is a very underrated director. A very skilled filmmaker who's movies are a special mixture of arthouse and mainstream entertaiment. // The intention of the film isn't something special but the actors acctually make it special. - DirectorFranz AntelStarsKarl MerkatzAlfred BöhmHans HoltA politically naïve Viennese butcher (Bockerer) manages to survive the unification of Germany and Austria and the Second World War.#February

Story and acting are also quite good, but nothing special. - DirectorBertrand TavernierStarsPhilippe NoiretJean RochefortJacques DenisA Watchmaker finds out one day that his son has become a murderer. He tries to understand for whom and why.#March

Little does he know it will land him in deep trouble and will jeopardize his burgeoning romance with the mysterious Lena.#March
7,5 - First "PTA" - Film I have seen. Wow, he presents you a fresh and just unlike tragicomedy. Sandler's best film and, for sure, his best performance of his, apart from that, dull carreer. - DirectorPetter NæssStarsPer Christian EllefsenSven NordinMarit Pia JacobsenWhen his mother, who has sheltered him his entire 40 years, dies, sensitive would-be poet Elling is sent to live in a state institution.

7 - Was nomminated for one academy award. Of course, it entertains quite good, but the characters are too strange for my taste. - DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J.

Zemeckis shows he skills as a director because his directing make the film in a special way extra-ordinary. - DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracySidney PoitierKatharine HepburnA couple's attitudes are challenged when their daughter introduces them to her African-American fiancé.#March
5 - Wow, very overrated classic. Portier's character is a way too perfect and as consequence very one-dimensional , his fiancée is tremendously annoying and the movie is, specially in the second half, just borring. - DirectorVolker SchlöndorffStarsSam ShepardJulie DelpyBarbara SukowaApril 1957: Rational engineer Faber's plane crashes in Mexico.

8 - The first time I managed it to watch the complete movie in one attempt. Kirk Douglas gives a very fine perfomance as the heroic Spartacus.
