So many fantastic films over the years from brilliant directors such as Fritz Lang, Wolfgang Petersen, Ernst Lubitsch, Edgar Reitz, Michael Haneke etc and of course the great Werner Herzog, who imo tops the list, so hard to pick just one, but let's have a go.

Bap - Have you been watching the remake of the wonderful Das Boot showing just now? Is it any good and worth a watch? Wolfgang Petersen`s original was an all time classic.

Can't remember the name but the one where the elderly mum collapsed as the cold war was ending. Woke up months later and her son had to pretend nothing had changed in case she had a heart attack.
Really good. |

I liked the Tin Drum too. The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (Herzog) is also a favourite. Anyone know the name of the Fassbinder film where the "mature" lady falls for a Turkish immigrant - very fine I remember, and still quite a lot to say about today. What is it called?

Goodbye Lenin! is brilliant. Socialism turns out to be wonderful when it only exists as an illusion.
Die Ehe der Maria Braun (The Marriage of Maria of Maria Braun) is my favourite. Hanna Schygulla  |

Dave: the title Angst essen Seele auf actually translates as 'Fear eat soul up'. It's deliberately incorrect, to reflect the speaker's poor knowledge of German.
He doesn't know how to conjugate the verb aufessen (to eat up), and he doesn't know the gender of the noun die Seele (the soul), so he just uses the infinitive form of the verb and omits the definite article. 'Fear eats up the soul' would translate as 'Angst isst die Seele auf'. |
|
By:
its was the "eat up" bit I was intending to highlight, I noticed the auf and deduced it was a separable verb that I hadn't seen before. The "essen" insted of "isst" and lack of an article puzzled me (but most german grammar puzzles me) - your explanation clears that up.
