Harry Potter Special

The Harry Potter era sadly has come to an end. The Harry Potter story is defenitely genius and one of the most fantastic stories of our century and probably ever. Especially the books by author Joanne K. Rowling are truly well written. Of course the movies are pretty awesome too. Harry Potter has a huge fanbase all over the world, young and old. Now the last movie of the series is in cinemas. Everyone in the world has heard of Harry Potter, Hermine Granger and Ron Wiesly. Now the last movie of the series is in cinemas. And Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 even is maybe the best of all Harry Potter movies.

Pulp Fiction



"Pulp Fiction" is probably Quentin Tarantino´s most famous movie. This movie is a classic. The film was nominated for 7(!!) Oscars. Starring a lot of stars at the beginning of their career, like Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and Bruce Willis.

Public Enemy



I recommend this film especially to all , who are fans of the gangster crime genre. The movie is set during the great depression in the USA between 1933 and 1934 and the birth of the FBI. It chronicles the final years of the notorious bank robber John Dillinger , played by Johnny Depp.
