I`m ashamed that I haven`t commented yet, with me being a Czech cinema lover and all. But during the last two months I didn`t have much time for our board, and there are still dozens of posts I have to read, yet (Thank god for the markers - though my PC is always stacked with hengcs` "books").
So, I just decided to start reading the thread, BUT
I`ll have to postpone it, as I was invbited to participate at some boardgames right now. 
But I`ll definitely add my two cents worth in the future on everything that has alreaady been said and more.

But as not to leave without any info, I strongly advise all of you to check out the Czech films by Alexander Hammid (also known as Alexandr Hackenschmied) and Otokar Vavra from the 30s!!
