Tento textík som poslal dvom Nemcom, ktorí študujú Holocaust. Momentálne boli na stáži v Národním Archívu v Prahe a mali záujem o nejaké čs. filmy reflektujúce toto obdobie.

Ak máte záujem niekomu ukázať československú kinematografiu, neváhajte sa inšpirovať!

1. Obchod na korze / The Shop on Main Street, 1965 - won an Academy Award
Slovak movie about "arisation" of Jewish shop
really tough movie, I've seen it once and despite liking it I don't want to see it anymore
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059527/

2. Ostře sledované vlaky / Closely Watched Trains, 1966 - also won Oscar
Poetical movie about train station during Protectorat era. Václav Neckář in the main role, the Czechoslovak popmusic star
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060802/

3. Spalovač mrtvol / The Cramator, 1969
Crazy psycho movie about a guy working as a funeral worker and decited to do strange things with his jewish family.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063633/

4. Démanty noci / Diamonds of the Night, 1964
Totally alternative movie about two boys running away. People are speaking German there.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058001/

5. Námestie svätej Alžbety / The Square of Saint Elisabeth, 1965
Another one Slovak movie about love between Jewish girl and Christian boy. I haven't seen this one, but I have read the book (it's "mandatory book" in Slovak high schools) and it was really sad. In this film is starring Emília Vášáryová, one of the BEST Czechoslovak Schauspielerin EVER. I've met her few weeks ago and she's still beautiful.
UNFORTUNATELY I don't think there are English subtitles (maybe that is challenge for me to make them!)

18. Černý Petr / Black Peter / Peter and Pavla, 1963

19. Vražda Ing. Čerta / Killing the Devil, 1970

20. Pelíšky / Cosy Dens, 1999
The best Czech movie. The most of Czechoslovaks are watching it every year over and over again and still laughing and crying about the same thing. It is broadcasted several times per year and the mostly watched broadcasting is at the Christmas Eve. It is about beautiful times in 1960s before invasion of Warsaw Pact armies.
