It's foreign-language movies week and I'm so excited for it because it's thanks to this theme over the years that I've learnt about some amazing foreign films, like the beautiful Wadjda. But, while I love it because it has made me discover many hidden gems, I'm going a different route with my picks today as I decided to pick three German films I watched in German without subtitles years ago when all my German vocabulary consisted of ja, auf wiedersehen and kartoffeln. These are three films starring my (decade old) crush Matthias Schweighöfer that I've been meaning to rewatch to understand the dialogue as the plot are very easy to understand even without knowing the language.
Friendship! (2010)
It is set after the fall of the Berlin wall and it follows two friends from East Germany as they fly to New York. Their goal is to go to San Francisco though and since they don't have enough money they decide to hitch-hike. Despite the language barrier I really, really enjoyed this one.
Keinohrhasen (2007)
I don't really remember the plot of this one but I'm pretty sure it was a romantic comedy and, to be honest, I watched this one for Til Schweiger. And then my crush on Schweighöfer began. Anyway, there's enough physical comedy, although it's often dumb, to make you laugh and keep you entertained even when you don't understand a word the people are saying. Plus, there are so many good looking people in this one.
Zweiohrküken (2009)
This is the sequel to Keinohrhasen and I remember absolutely nothing about it. It still follows Schweiger and Schweighöfer's characters — the first struggling with his girlfriend, the latter once again trying to find a woman — but other than that I don't remember what happens.
