You should also make sure you've seen the princess and the warrior (also with Franka Potente, and the same director as RLR). Also, thinking of german movies, I reckon goodbye lenin is well worth watching. It's currently on in some sifty place in brooklyn.

The Wharehouse is a goldmine for obscure cd singles. They have bins of deleted import singles for 50c - $2 - most of them were impossible to get in nz when they were originally released.

I'm in b-side heaven & all for $13.50!
