Giorgio Moroder's Metropolis
In 1984, Academy Award winning composer Giorgio Moroder introduced Fritz Lang’s science fiction epic Metropolis to a new generation of filmgoers. Working in collaboration with film archivists globally, Moroder supervised a special reconstruction, with color tinting, fewer intertitles and newly restored footage. A pioneer in the field of digital music, Moroder backed this special edition with a throbbing new score, punctuated with pop songs from some of the biggest stars of the early MTV era: Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar, Adam Ant, Bonnie Tyler, Loverboy and others.Year:

The beautician Angela Bell, a well-off middle-aged lady, and the respected fashion doctor Prof. Christian Hollmann would like to get married, but there is a catch: Hollmann is still married to his somewhat annoying wife Margot. Angela, however, has to get married as soon as possible because as a foreigner she will lose her work permit if she does not become a German citizen soon. The couple then come up with the idea of marrying Angela to the German bachelor Jonny Pitter, a writer - a sham marriage with no dishonorable consequences, of course.

Der große Preis
The moral is simple: keep your mouth shut, especially when you're working during the wartime in a factory, which produces racing cars only, or someone can (or even must) get murdered. Not a good movie, not a bad either. The ending is abrupt and artificial, which seems to be a common plague of Third Reich's crime movies. Gustav Fröhlich could never get rid of his silent era mannerisms and overacting. But on the other side, this film is not boring and has to offer some decent plot turns and acting.Year:

In this situation, Werner convinces his friend Michael, who is an engineer by profession, to take over the firm as long as he is in jail and to pose as him. Michael agrees and is able to bring the firm up again. He even arranges a reliability test for motorcycles via Istanbul, Rome and Barcelona, which creates a big Turkish order for the company.
