The Cars, meh! I mean, nothing irresistible. (Some of their stuff is nice)

I know some albums by the Jeffersons, the one I prefer is Surrealistic Pillow, which I find sufficient.

The vote is for King Crimson, not for the album in question, which I don't know.

You are probably right; after all, I (believe) Hitchcock considered it his best (or among his best). But I prefer Psycho, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious, and even Frenzy. But I admit it’s a film rich with a haunting and melancholic atmosphere... perhaps the paradoxical plot doesn’t convince me. It's a matter of taste.

@Workhorse Friedrich von Paulus led the German Sixth Army during the Battle of Stalingrad. He followed Hitler's orders, which mandated holding positions at all costs, even after his forces were completely surrounded by the enemy. An attempt at rescue by Army Group Don, under the command of Field Marshal von Manstein, failed. Hitler promoted Paulus to the rank of field marshal when the situation was irreparably compromised, expecting that he would commit suicide, as no German field marshal in history had ever surrendered. Instead, he surrendered, ended up in a Russian prisoner of war camp, and died in East Germany in 1957. Erich von Manstein, after Paulus's surrender, managed to prevent the collapse of the southern sector of the Eastern Front in March 1943 by launching a German offensive around Kharkov, achieving a resounding victory, but only a partial success in the overall war strategy. A theorist of maneuver warfare, he fell out of favor with Hitler when military operations on the Russian front demanded the application of what von Manstein termed a "fluid defense" in response to the Soviet Army's counteroffensive. This particularly applies to the Battle of Kursk, after which Germany was no longer able to take the initiative, and furthermore, it lacked coordinated strategies. Naturally, that sublime mind of Hitler blamed his generals; in addition to Manstein, he also pushed Guderian out of the scene, one of the commanders who had contributed to the myth of the invincibility of the German armies...... To make sure I wasn’t writing nonsense, I checked the encyclopedia. Hello.

Hi bjork, I'm busy with other things. I come to DeBaser a couple of times every day and only comment on what seems interesting to me.

Never claimed that Zeit is lighter; after all, all of Tangerine Dream's music cannot be considered light. (At least, not what I've heard.)

One of the films I've always heard good things about, I will watch it as soon as possible.

I haven't seen the movie, but Stalingrad is considered the turning point of World War II. The moment when the Germans, in addition to losing about 250,000 men and a large quantity of armaments, especially lost the initiative. Later, after the Battle of Kursk, the Russian advance was a victorious march toward Berlin. All of this due to Hitler's stubbornness, who never wanted to retreat a single meter, ignoring his best generals (e.g., Erich von Manstein).

But let’s not forget the overtaxed, Guards and Thieves, The Gang of Honest Men, Totò le Mokò, The Two Marshals, Totò Diabolicus, Totò Against the Four, and also Laughter of Joy, even though it's not the classic Totò film that's easy to laugh at.
