What a great flick. I can't believe they didn't make a sequel.
Danke Schoen* is a great song. And Twist and Shout reminds me how great music is at rousing joy and fun.
*Though you'd think that if you're going to sing a major song with a title in a foreign language, you'd at least get a coach in to make sure you can pronounce it right. It seems a bit disrespectful not to.

I agree.. one of the all time best coming of age movies ever.
Don't forget that this is the movie that launched Charlie Sheen's career!

Thank God they didn't! They might've attempted a TV series, though, come to think of it, but luckily it didn't take off.

I guess they figured they were only disrespecting Germans. And that the audience for it (remember, it was the early Sixties) was American and wouldn't know whether it was right or not.
Sheen was actually quite good in that role. That still, weird intensity.
I really like that movie, seen it so many times!
And Twist and Shout, that's the stadium breaker :)
