Probably The Longest Day. It was my favourite movie as a kid, because I was very into World War 2 back then. My sister can recite all lines in The Lion King, for me that’s with The Longest Day.
I like the delivery of the lines, the acting and the shots. There’s a really impressive single shot from above, where masses of Brits (I think) fight through a French town. There’s lots of explosions and a bridge which is destroyed. All one shot, really impressive especially for the time (I think). I also like that it’s not a purely English spoken film. I don’t watch movies in which ze Germans speak English, sorry. This is a really long movie though, three hours.
Another pick might be Coming out. Not a very good film I think, but I watched it quite a lot when I was younger. It’s an openly queer film made in the GDR and therefore already very special. Even more so as it had its premiere on the very night the Berlin Wall fell.
It’s about a guy who meets a girl and goes out with her, ends up moving in. Then, he randomly enters a gay bar and gets into the whole cruising thing. Then he finds a guy for real, but he still has his girlfriend. This goes wrong, of course. Interesting is that, near the end, an elder in the bar tells him that he was a loyal member of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD, pre-war), but that didn’t help him as a gay guy. Now, it doesn’t matter if you’re jewish or whatever - but if you’re gay, people still hate you.
