new DVDs

I feel bad. I really shouldn't spend money, but I did anyway. The DVDs were all quite cheap and all were films I really wanted to own...but still.

Actually I only wanted to order Goonies and Stand by me but then I realized the amazon shipping costs and I had to search for a few more ^^;



When I watched The Goonies last year I noticed how much I had forgotten about the movie. I only watched it as child and the only thing I really remembered were Sloth and the Hand-in-mixer scene.

The next film is Witches! I loved and feared this movie as child. The witch was so screepy.

"Stand by me" is another movie I remember watching on TV, but I could never remember the title. I also don't remember the ending at all...just the leeches :p

The last one is a Grimms fairy tale adaptation. There a a bunch of them all of them from 80s Czechoslovakia. They stray quite a bit from the source materials, but that makes them even better movies. The costumes are amazing. Really great family movies :)
This one is Mother Holle/ Frau Holle...I read that that fairy-tale isn't really well known in USA and UK which I can't understand at all.
I found this nice homepage that has a bunch of stills from the film.

Somehow I just needed those feel-good movies from my childhood ^^;
