Wings of Desire at 20
It's hard to believe that Wim Wenders' masterpiece is 20 years old. The film still moves me like no other, mainly because it's pure poetry. From the script to the visuals of a still-divided Berlin, Wenders created a love poem to his city. If you have never seen
Der Himmel Uber Berlin
, as it's titled in Germany, do yourself a favor and put it at the top of your list. For more about the film, visit Wenders' site at this

Coll, thank you for the reminder--if this film were fabric, it'd be delicate gossamer....

This is one of Annie's and Brenda's favorite films. They introduced it to me.

I remember when I first saw this back in 1987. I can't believe it's been 20 years either. My high school reunion is next year, which boggles my mind.
