What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

Tatort: Moltke (1988) from VHS. A very good Schimanski Episode! Hard-boiled actioner, no sugar-coating.

Nope, just checkin out my "new" VHS-recorder. Everything seems fine! The german tone VHS, of course.

"Boot" is still on DVD, same "Red October".

PS:
How would you have decide? Attacking the japanese carrier force, heading for Pearl or not?

As Marshall Ney said... "I ride to the sound of the guns!" Head to where the shootins a goin' on and pitch in!

I don't know if it's unique, but I still love the adult adressed one-liners, kids probably not really get. And the german synchro is simply top-notch. Unbelievable perfect!
But I never got, why it's non-age restricted. A little too hard stuff for little kids, in my opinion.

In the UK, the BBFC certification includes 'U' (Universal - suitable for all, "family films"), and 'Uc' (Universal, specifically aimed at children). The line they take for a U is that you can have the odd adult gag here and there if only an adult would spot it, but if they dwell on it long enough that Kids will pick up on it and be all "Mummy, why's that funny? What does it mean?", it goes up to a 12A, where you either have to be 12 or with a responsible adult to get in. The 12A replaced an earlier, hard-age limit 12 certificate that was introduced with the first Tim Burton Batman picture in 1989. In 1993, Mrs Doubtfire was given a 12 certificate. Controversially, at that. I didn't know until years later that it was based on a much-beloved by legions of little girls children's book called Madame Doubtfire. Much of the would-be built in audience for the book was unable to see it on release because of the age limit. What got it as 12 over a U was the protracted conversation where "power tools" are discussed, in context the term being used as a comedy euphemism for sex toys. A single usage would have been considered something that would go over kids' heads, but the repeated use of the term in a conversation of several minutes' duration emphasised it to the point where it would not escape their notice. It's been a very long time since I saw Aladdin, but from memory anything considered not entirely kid friendly is thrown away very quickly, not dwelt on.
