I need to see this. Never seen a Sam Peckinpah film. Really need to, especially his westerns.
Tennis anyone? Supah!
The Germans just seem to love their really, awesomely, massively depressing movies. I swear, Wings of Desire is like the most uplifting German film I’ve seen, and that one has an angel who gives up heaven for a chance to experience the sensation of a warm cup of coffee.
Berthold Brecht is one of my absolute favourites.
@WistfulD: Oh yeah?
Then how about you try some movies that aren’t well known in countries outside of Germany.
Lola rennt
Good Bye Lenin!
Der Schuh des Manitu
Das Experiment
Any movie by the magnificent Werner Herzog
Of course there are a bazillion more, but since I don’t know what you consider depressing or not, I’ll list only these. Some consider Finding Nemo depressing.
Oh…uh…durr…I forgot the link.
Salad Days by Sam Pekinpah, sort of…
@nyokki. Good one. That pretty much sums up Peckinpah’s later stuff. Wild Bunch, C of I, etc… He was the bloodiest director of his day. Almost G rated though compared to what they are putting out now.
@Alte: ‘Zactly. The first movie I remember seeing was Straw Dogs, extremely disturbing movie. I was expecting blood everywhere (he had quite a rep by then) and thought “THIS is what they were talking about? What’s the big deal?” I was young and didn’t realize just how disturbing it was til I watched again, later on. Come to think of it, I had the same reaction to the first movie I ever saw by Nicolas Roeg, Walkabout.
