 Charade (1963)
IMDB rating: 8.00
Plot: Regina Lambert returns to Paris from a ski holiday in Switzerland to find that her husband has been murdered. She is later told by CIA agent Hamilton Bartholemew that Charles Lambert was one of five men who stole $250,000 in gold from the U.S. government during World War II, and the government wants it back. The money was not found among his possessions, and Regina can shed no light on its whereabouts. Later that day she is visited by Peter Joshua, whom she had met briefly while on holiday. When her husband’s former partners in crime, who were double-crossed by Charles, start calling her looking for the money, Peter offers to help find it. Thus begins an elaborate charade in which nothing is what it seems to be.

British bigot alert! Help with my response please…?
Now i have not laughed so much in all my life. I have never even heard of any german food in my life, i have been to america for 6 months travelling in nebraska, montana, washington and oregon and i often saw "English Apple Pie" on many menues and shepherd’s pie on menus as well as "english breakfast" in many cafes, and much more as well.
The housing is great, of course it is bad is urban areas of London, go to nice areas in the south east, north west and central London.
The NHS is not great i will admit, but it is something that the government is working on. our women are beautiful, a lot better than those dirty dogs you have.
Germany was once a great nation, up until the late 19th and 20th centuries because of the war; most Germans didn’t even want to go to war, they wanted to work hard to make their country great, bt then changed their minds and went to war and the whole charade of a country is now paying the price. Then you went down hill, and now the world laughs at your ridiculous country. We invented almost all sports, your dirty shit hole of a country is only good at one sport, football. rugby is huge in Britain as it is in Australia and many other great nations. We were 2003 rugby world cup champions and 2007 cup finalists, we have won the six nations many times, we are the current winners of the ashes in the cricket.
You seem to laugh at england bcos we have only been to one footballl cup final since we WON it in 1966, bt england laughs at you, you have won an english sport world cup three times, but tht is the ONLY sport you play, practically, in a country of 80million people, 3 times is not nearly enough for a sport tht is ur only sport! Our language is used all over the world and is the main language of the UN, NATO, G8 and much more.
The German language is the basis of your dirty country, who wants to learn german, who NEEDS to learn german to be great in the world? The top people in Germany all speak English and/or French. And how an earth are we dependent on you? What an earth do you do for England or any other nation for that matter? England attracts more tourists than Germany, we have better television and a better football league, i know for a fact that tht the premier league is shown live in germany, the only time we here about german football sides is when they play an english side in the champions league or uefa cup.
Not to mention music - your music is dreadful, you surely can not deny that! It’s disgraceful it is so bad, and your television is SHIT! British TV is shown all around the world, USA, Australia, Norway, Canada, France, Eastern Europe, Israel. Film is also a LOT better in the UK, British film is trash compared to US film, but it don’t matter to us - we both speak ENGLISH! German film = SHIT! The only good German films are the ones based on you losing WWII.
If anything Germany is dependent on England. Maybe you should visit other nations and THEN tell me English food is not used outside "that sorry little island", maybe you should watch some rugby and tell me it is a pathetic sport, maybe you should look around in Germany and tell me it is not a sad, sorry shit hole.
There is no response to this statement. Judging from the original comments, this was a provoked attack. Everything stated in this message is true. British film, British television, British music and British food is much better than German tv, film, food and music.
The English language is spoken all over the world, and is a much nicer language to speak. And yes, everyone in the German government (90% of them) speak English, i don’t know about French, but they speak English that is for sure.
Britain won WWII, despite popular Kraut opinion that it was Russia or America who won it - NO! Britain, France, Canada, USA and Russia all won the war, if one of those nations were neutral or rooting for the Germans - Germany would have won the war. Even though France surrendered after five minutes, those five minutes were vital and the Allies would have lost if it wasn’t for them.
Germans seem to enjoy calling Britons ‘island monkey’s’ that pathetic statement goes to show what the Germans are really like - jealous, inconsiderate, back stabbing losers if insult others to make their sorry selves feel better.
There are some good points of Germany though. You have produced the world’s best dog - the German Shepherd. You have given Europe and the rest of the world a nation to laugh at and a language to feel sorry for.
If it makes you feel better - Germans everywhere can take the piss out of Britons that you do well in the Winter Olympics, you had ONE great formula 1 driver, you have won three world cups (as West Germany) and 3 European championships (as West Germany for two and Germany for the other) and overall you have done better in the Summer Olympics.
However, Britain beat Germany in the 2008 Olympics and our winters are not as long and miserable as yours - so we are not likely to beat you at the Winter games, and you have a population of 20million more people than us - it is no wonder that you have performed better in the Olympics.
On the bright side, you are the strongest economic nation in Europe. But, with 2012 Olympics in Britain, along with us hosting both Rugby World Cups, The FIFA world cup and Cricket World Cup all in this decade - we will overtake you, by grace of God.

I don’t understand. Are you saying someone said this to you and you want to know how to handle them?
I don’t think a person with these views can be handled quite frankly, there’s obviously some chip on the shoulder happening.

Ah the teenage angst on being told by your "liebe fraulein" that"For you tommy, all zee wild love machen ist kaput"…..such spite….such pathetic drivel……zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
In fact being more PC and liberal minded it is even possible that Hans doesn’t want to play hide the bratwurst anymore
Some of the music is brill
