Deutschland privat 2 - Im Land der bunten Träume (2007)
A hilarious collection of 60 to 80ies 8mm home made movies
Robert van Ackeren, better known for his classic "Die flambierte Frau", made a sympathetic film from a diverse collection of home made 8mm movies - ranging from holiday scenes and a guy importing his bride from the Philipines in the first part to home made pornographic flics in the second. The first part has it's hilarious moments: a band of nudists is digging in the dirt behind their club house in the alps- and it has it's shocking moments when people on a party have to kill a cock hanging from a rope by hitting his head. The porn stuff actually is so bad it's already good again.
To sum it up: This movie shows a side of Germany I haven't known yet. Funny and weird stuff - an experience you shouldn't miss.(The first movie in this series -"Deutschland privat - Eine Anthologie des Volksfilms"- is said to be a cult classic - I'll have to check it out as well.)
Binningers Birne (1997)
Funny fictionary
A nice mix of a documentary and a fictional story about a light bulb that never fails: Binninger's bulb.
Some conspiration theory is also included. I liked it very much, but I saw it some years ago, so I don't remember it too well.
