***I have the impression, rightly or wrongly, that he mostly likes foreign films few people have ever heard of

He-he..., that is an interesting point! Why do you think most people have never heard of most good films that are basically sitting in the plain view, on the shelf?

This is to large degree related to the M subject - as I said, there are hundreds or thousands of good films, all available, and yet we keep talking about the same, the same, the same, the same few over and over and over and over again?

***while loathing most Hollywood films;

That one is true.... sigh... but I loath all bad films, damn, I even dumped on one French film lately - did you miss it?

***I'm a bit surprised by his attitude regarding this German classic though.

I think probably because you jumped on your keyboard too fast. Every time it came up I gave it the highest praise, I just finally got tired. So just what is my attitude towards the M? I mean besides its pesky nature on this forum?

***Oh well, in spite of what may appear to be crankiness, he means well. :o)

I think you got that one right, thank you.
