the lives of others (das leben der anderen)
this German movie beat out Pan's Labyrinth for the best foreign film oscar so of course, it's good. a member of the East German secret police becomes obsessed with the lives of the writer and actor he spies on. it's long, but doesn't feel too long. what more could you want? the version I saw had English subtitles on the bottom and Spanish subtitles on the top - a little hard to see the 'action' sometimes, but good for practicing languages.
