Well, I’m going to break the rules by suggesting a DVD-only selection from Netflix (though they do have a trailer of this movie on their website) but it was just SUCH a good movie that I feel the need to trumpet it to anyone who will listen. It’s called “The Lives of Others” and it won the best foreign film Oscar for 2007. It’s about the East German secret police and some people who get entangled with them, and it is just tremendous!!!! My DH and I watched it with a couple of friends, and afterward we sat around discussing it for about 45 minutes, and the next day my DH and I had to talk about it some more. So thought-provoking and such a well-constructed movie. Worth the time to get it in the mail. (The “extras” part also has a very interesting interview with the director. Amazingly, it was his first feature film.)
Excellent movie.
