'Wings of Desire'....is that the strange one with angels falling from heaven?

you haven't seen The Truman Show? Generally I hate Jim Carrey but I really enjoyed it :) (but that is me....and I know we don't have totally the same taste :D)

definitely agree with most of your additions though :D

Yep, that's Wings of Desire. We did it in film studies and all I can rememebr about it it that I wanted it.

you haven't seen The Truman Show?

I don't remember seeing it, but I might have. Jim Carrey is in a boat at the end?

yeppers, that'd be the one :)

I don't even remember where I saw Wings of Desire....it was definitely at the college though, but I can't for the life of me think which class it'd've been....
it was....odd. Good, but odd :)

I think we saw it in German with subtitles. I can't remember much about it, but it was one of my favourite movies from film studies. That and Rashomon.
