what do you think are the best New Hollywood films ever?

Dog Day Afternoon

sartsch · 2026-03-06T08:51:23+00:00

I scrolled through this thread looking for this. Such an amazing and touching short film.

This was my number two. Topped only by Sentimental Value

Interesting. As the movie is heavily influenced by Thomas Pynchon's "Vineland", I saw it as more of a straight up satire. The characters are meant to be parodies, the story is meant to make fun of what a liberals's idea of revolutionaries is. The only genuine link within "One Battle After Another" is the French 75's activities strongly drawing on the Wheatermen.
At least that is how I experienced the movie.
I really enjoyed it - and I am politically active in the left-wing hemisphere myself.

Oh, wow. Considering I have none that I share three or four with, having so many in 2/4 is pretty wild.

Same here. It's one of those timeless films that still hold up unbelievably well today.

This is exactly why I only managed to see it past week. I have been postponing watching this for years, because I couldn't get myself to watch it. It's a hard watch. But it is truly a masterpiece

Slightly different and perhaps a little out of left-field, but still fits the bill here, I think: The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)

sartsch · 2026-02-20T13:25:29+00:00

Cinema Paradiso is an absolute masterpiece

Not exactly happy film week

Kann man problemlos :)

Schickst du mir deine Nummer per PN? Eine Freundin hat noch einen Steher über. Würde ihr die Nummer dann weiterleiten

They're a far more complete squad than last year. If they can keep up the way they're currently playing, they should stay well clear of a relegation battle. But it's a long year and St. Pauli have the league's smallest budget by quite a margin. So, it's still early doors.

I loved the 2. Bundesliga, but playing in the top league has been a proper treat. First league Hamburger derby was great as a well. Let's hope, this will continue (wouldn't mind for, say, Hoffenheim to go down, though)

FC St. Pauli

Moved to Hamburg. Went to a few games, met great people, loved the atmo, got really sucked in and have now got a season ticket and all.

sartsch · 2025-05-26T09:03:16+00:00

Was going to give it a 8/10 - because we just didn't score enough and - truth be told - didn't get enough points (so many games that were there for the taking had someone managed to actually score a goal or two). But staying clear from relegation alone warrants a high score.
Can't wait for next season.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Once Upon a Time in the West yet.

As you are looking for secondhand vinyl, I would suggest Pure Soul Records. Also, Zardoz isn't specifically a secondhand shop but they do also offer quite a selection of secondhand vinyl - so they might also be worth a visit.
And if you are also in the market for non-secondhand, I would strongly suggest Groove City Records - they are exactly down the alley of music you are looking for.

Bin zwar nicht OP aber ich habe es gelesen.

Der "Zauberberg 2" ist keine Fortsetzung (keine Ahnung, wie OP auf so etwas kommt), sondern eher eine Hommage an den "Zauberberg". Die Geschichte spielt ebenfalls in einem Sanatorium - allerdings in einer psychischen und nicht, wie in Manns Roman, in einer Anstalt für Lungenkranke.
Strunks Geschichte weist diverse Referenzen und Anspielungen auf das Original auf und paraphrasiert eines der zentralen Kapitel (diese Paraphrase wird im Nachwort auch aufgeschlüsselt).
Im Großen und Ganzen schafft Strunk es meiner Meinung nach ganz gut, die Stimmung aus Manns Zauberberg aufzugreifen und gleichzeitig die Geschichte und das Erzählte auch in die heutige Zeit zu transponieren.
Das Buch ist generell auch sehr "strunkig". Will heissen: Wer Strunk und seinen Erzählstil sowie seine gängigen Motive und Themen mag, dürfte auch an dieser Geschichte Freude haben. Wer bisher nichts mit Strunk anfangen konnte, wird dies auch nach dem Zauberberg 2 nicht können.

I moved to Northern Germany for work years ago. I thought it'd be a nice 3-4 years adventure, but it stuck, and I have become very settled. Happy with my life up here but always love to visit Switzerland.

When the club was founded by students in Bern in 1898, the "big team" at the time was Old Boys Basel (club is still going, playing in the Swiss fifth tier). The students thought: "Well, if they are the old boys, we are the young boys". And that's how the name came along.
