Run Lola Run

[GasX]

I just saw this movie over the weekend and was quite impressed.

I was surprised to find out that it was in German and subtitled in English. Even so, it is a really unique and excellent movie. The premise is that Lola needs to come up with 100,00 marks (~$50k) in 20 minutes or her boyfriend dies. They run through at least three alternative versions of that 20 minutes. All of this is done in a very cool way.

If you can stand subtitles, rent this movie!

I agree, it's a lot of fun.

I saw Snatch again last night... man, that movie is greatness.

"What are we gonna do, deafen 'em to death?"

I've heard good things about the movie. It was a huge success everywhere except in the US. Another good foreign movie that got killed by the movie distribution system.

I saw Snatch last week and LOVED it!

I thought it was an excellent movie.

Anyone watch the Simpsons Sunday catch the Run Lola Run reference with Lisa? hehe..

And yes Snatch is great, I need to get the DVD.

"there are 2 types of balls.."

Sunday's Simpsons episode had a great spoof on it. Played the music during 'Lisa's Day' anytime she was running around.

Run Lola Run demonstrates the need for a new Academy Award Category: Funkiest Hair Style.

BTW, if you watch the movie with the English Dub on, the language makes it only a pg-13 movie.

How did they translate scheize?

 

[Urinal Mint]

Crap!

 

[kbm5]

<< How did they translate scheize? >>



I dunno. What's scheize?

 

[GasX]

It's the German word for doody

 

[kbm5]

Oh, ok. I guess they just used &quot;crap,&quot; then. It's been a while since I've seen it.

awesome movie - u can find it in the import section at Blockbuster... i saw it on IFC one day...

 

[GLudlow]

This is an excellent movie! I suggest it to anyone who's tired or hollywood type films.

Snatch was SUCK!!!:|

I can't believe how gullible some people are and lacking in judgement of what REAL QUALITY in films they are.

&quot;Run Lola Run&quot; was pretty good for what it was.

 

[Regine]

Uhm, &quot;scheize&quot; isn't a German word. What you're looking for is &quot;Scheisse&quot;.


Anyways, I loved that movie. I should try to find that movie on DVD, that way I can turn off the subtitles, otherwise I'm too lazy to actually listen to the German, I just read the English

 

[Capn]

scheisse, just in case you wanted to spell your profane german correctly

Can you qualify that with a statement of perhaps a film that in your eyes isn't suck?

 

[Techwhore]

on a somewhat related note... if anyone watched The Simpsons last night, it was a parity of this film (which by the way was an excellent movie and i'm happy to own it on DVD even though my player's broken )

EDIT: I guess it pays to read every post in the thread BEFORE you reply.

I don't think he understood anything Brad Pitt was saying, or he's afraid to admit he's the only guy who liked Battlefield Earth.

 

[GasX]

clue to the clueless: Brad Pitt is inentionally unintelligible.

Don't rewind and replay.

Bloody Piker

Have you guys seen the preview of her new movie, it's called &quot;Princess ...&quot; I forgot the rest but it looks AWESOME!

 

[yellowperil]

My favorite part of Run Lola Run were those cutaway scenes when they show possible fates of the passersby. It's genius how they can tell whole stories by flashing slides in a matter of a few seconds.

its a damn good thing it was subbed. Foreign language films are ALWAYS better with subtitles, and the dubbed version of Run Lola Run is quite bad.

franka potentes now movie is called &quot;the princess and the warrior&quot; link
