Are we talking about German cinema. If we are, WHO CARES??

oho, there are many excellent German movies. currently there is "Toni Erdmann", the 3rd movie by female German director Maren Ade. in the view of many film critics (and in my opinion too) a movie with an excellent chance to win the "Best Foreign Language Movie" Oscar next year. it has already won several awards, including the FIPRESCI award at the Cannes film festival (it was also nominated for the Palme d'Or there), an honor never before bestowed on a female movie director.the movie will be released in the USA on Dec 25th this year.

don't underestimate German movies; there have been so many excellent ones. just think of "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" which has pretty high rankings in many "best movies of all time" lists, often even getting a top ten spot in them.

another brilliant German movie with similar reputation and rankings is Fritz Lang's "M" (actually it is Friede's favorite movie of all times). though it is 84 years old meanwhile it still is an excellent and gripping movie (and much better than Lang's "Metropolis".

I usually prefer European movies to US movies. there are of course some exceptions, but as a rule of thumbs they are much more audacious and therefore in my opinion much more interesting than the generally much too streamlined US movies

I still find Tangerine Dream, Goblin, Pink Floyd and Vangelis head the list of movies.  

I need more, even though I like Goblins music, will not watch the movies, they were in.

...a rather hilarious mis-use of prog music in film was the use of King Crimson's "The Devil's Triangle" in the movie of the same name, starring narration by the late, great Vincent Price!!   The poster said "Music by King Crimson," and I was expecting quite a bit more!!
