I just found this again on youtube where I found it for the first time years ago, after knowing some of these songs by themselves previously. The Threepenny Opera in it's 1931 original version. There used to be an HD version up on youtube, but this is the best one I could find this time around.
It's so goddamn good. Apparently the Nazis destroyed all of the original footage (because Brecht and Weill were pretty damn communist) so this had to be pieced together from film negatives and the original soundtrack but IMHO it still works well as a movie. I guess it's an odd suggestion to link here, but I'm drinking rye and coke and I just found it again and the songs are all so good (and there are quite a few German posters around here, so they're likely to appreciate it more than me really)...so I thought I oughta link it.

I remember this from senior class. On the last day before holidays it's custom here that there's a church service in morning before they hand out the reports. You could choose to stay in school to attend an alternative class though. Of course none of the teachers were eager to teach a bunch of random students on the last day, so we usually watched movies.

I love that I first learned most of these songs in English... but they were written in German...but it all takes place in England anyways. It adds a few confusing layers to the whole thing. I'm only half-German myself and know very little of the language, but I enjoy playing these songs for my Oma because she can tell me about all of the little nuances that are lost in translation. They're all much more twisted than one would expect from 1931.

I suppose I ought to list my favourite movies while I'm commenting here.
Going off of a facebook list I compiled more than 2 years ago but which still holds true, they are in no particular order:
Full Metal Jacket, Blade Runner, Barton Fink, The Darjeeling Limited, Die 3-Groschen-Oper, Singin' in the Rain, Taxi Driver, Fantasia, Reservoir Dogs, Chopper, Apocalypse Now, Punch-Drunk Love, Days of Heaven, the Treasure of Sierra Madre.

You have a good list here, with most of my favorite directors represented, but you picked the worst P.T. Anderson movie. Have you seen his other stuff? If so, did you really like PDL better than say Boogie Nights, Magnolia, or There Will be Blood?

I really liked Magnolia and Boogie Nights, which is an insanely well made movie, but PDL was just too weird for me, the Master felt like a bit of wasted opportunity and I'm still baffled at all the praise TWbB got

So I might be biased.

But yes, I do like PDL in particular.
My favourite all-time movie of the list is probably Fantasia.

Another great movie from that year btw that was overshadowed by No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood was Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I loved that one too.

Emmanuel Lubezki really is an artist, this so wonderfully shot. I read the script and it's going to be incredibly intense film

My favorites are Alien, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Blue (from the Three Colors trilogy, and Red is a almost as good), Dawn of the Dead, Full Metal Jacket, Let the Right One In, Reservoir Dogs, The Graduate, and The Princess Bride
Not really as "good" but also love: Army of Darkness (Evil Dead III), The Never Ending Story, and The Witches of Eastwick
Crap! Forgot the Coens! Must add The Big Lebowski, which my husband and I watch at least once a month and Raising Arizona (funny shapes, panty on your head, etc.).

All I can say about the Never Ending Story is that the one horse that drowned was my favourite character and the best actor IMO.

Haven't watched it in a few years, and there's a good chance it wouldn't hold up for me, but I'll always love it because my sister and I watched it at least 1000 times when I was a kid.
