Das verrückteste Auto der Welt (1975)
mediocre movie, but got some 70s charm
This movie is the 4th movie in the "Dudu" series, a yellow beetle doing a rally over the Alps. It draws from Herbie the white beetle, but where Herbie had a soul, this one is controlled by a computer (lot's of blinking lights, clicking sounds, and a tape recorder.
The film itself is rather mediocre, the plot is shallow and pretty much predictable. There are a few moments where you have to smile because it's just so incredibly stupid. I remember seeing this thing when I was about 6 or 7 and I loved it back then. So seeing this movie does require the right kind of infantile attitude :).
Many characters in the movie itself are dubbed in Swiss German, as the rally happens in Switzerland. This invites a lot of smiles for Germans, it just sounds cute, in my opinion.
The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)
Great Action
If you don't like action films, you'll hate this one. But if you do like them, this is really a must-see. We decided afterwards that the film is actually close to the Terminator 2 niveau.
Samuel L. Jackson plays the obligatory shabby private detective and macho. It is one of the funniest characters I've ever seen in this genre.
The film itself is stuffed with action and stunt scenes so it never gets boring.
The only drawback are some explosions where the fire spreads so slow that everyone can drive/run away from it. Well, nobody is perfect...
