I watched it today, and I was laughing so hard. I've never watched a movie without dialog before. Any of his other movies you recommend?

I also watched "The Battle of Algiers", and it was an excellent movie. Surprisingly unbiased account of an extremely bloody revolution. Normally films like that demonize one side and make the others out to be heroes, this one shows it as people just doing what they have to.


Not black and white but I also watched "Blade Runner". I had never seen this one, and it was pretty damn good too. Not really my favorite kind of film but still I enjoyed it.

Up next: either Der Untergang(Downfall), Ed Wood, Spirited Away or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Can't decide what I'm in the mood for.
