In my opinion the best comedy ever. Their parody and stultification of foundation-stones of all the possible religions are so excellent that makes me almost cry with sense of absolute accuracy.

For me one of the most principal movie. I watched it in my early teenage and at that time it seeded in me the resistance against all kind of ideologies (no matter if it's fascism, communism or any religion).

Fictitious character "Jára da Cimrman" is the Czech national phenomenon. Around this neglected genial mathematician, physicist, writer, sportsman, playwriter, philosopher, technician, poet, criminalist, inventor, linguist, explorer, musician, etc... a group of formerly amateur humorists created wast legend including the fabulous works, pieces, stage-plays, etc. They incorporate real historical facts, events, inventions, works, personalities into his fabulous biography. This bright, intelligent, slow, statical, expression-focused, cultivated, ironical humour has no precedent in history. It amuses almost two generation of Czech people. Unfortunately, this kind of humour is hardly translatable to the people who are not in deep knowledge of Czech cultural area.

Their performance always consists of two parts. First part is so called "seminar", where properly dressed seriously looking men read their seminar paper about newly discovered information about the live & work of the neglected genius. The second part of the performance is composed of an example of master's work, mostly stage-play. ZÁSKOK belongs to their best.

Agricultural humour. One of the best among "nice Czech movies".

Marvelous Michelle Pfeiffer, emotionally intensive movie. Sorry, Mr. Forman, but much more better than your Valmont.

Rough, passionate, excellent historical fresco.

Strong, very strong movie. Black-and-White, rigorous, almost documentary tune of the movie just boosting the effect of the movie. If there were not scenes like unnecessarily pathetic scene of leave-taking between Schindler and "his" Jews, the evaluation would be absolute.

I am fond of Monty Python's Flying Circus

The best western ever made.

This movie was for me like a revelation. A soft balancing between the insanity and "normality" with the heavily depressed undertone and salvation at the end. Geographical determinism in practice. I cannot imagine this movie would be made south from Denmark :-).

Perfect caricature of the communist regime... The great movie from director Zdenek Podskalsky. Excellent Rudolf Hrusinky as chairman of Town National Committee (communist analogy of Town Council) and no less excellent Milos Kopecky as his deputy. Precise script. Surprisingly courageous - the movie was made in 1965.

Another great sitcom from British provenance, i.e. Britcom. Maybe the most diaphragm-breaking episode was the first episode of second season called "Work Out". We watched it with friends during our skiing week in Alps and we cried out loudly, nearly killed by laughter.

Season 1: 95%
Season 2: 95%
Season 3: 87%
Season 4: 85%

Hard to evaluate movie that is not a movie... Semi-fictitious story with real and very popular musicians and folk singers. Impressive music: the main goal of the picture!

Impressive criminal movie.

Genial picturizing of a classical satirical novel "Dobrý voják Švejk" (Good Soldier Schweik) written by Jaroslav Hašek. (This movie is only a first part, the second part is named "Poslušně hlásím"). For more see Wikipedia

Extraordinary comedy with typical British black humour; and yet satire as well. Well-turned and pointfull dialogues. At least five scenes where I nearly crowled on the floor struck down by laughter.

Unique parody...

Top tragic comedy of recent years.

Exceptionally original movie.

One of the best movie in history.

Grat military movie. The opening scene of landing in Normandy has become a significant part of filmography history.

I ask for more such movies. History hides many thousands of similar strong and didactic stories...

Classical Czech comedy re-runned every year.

I can watch this movie hundred times...

Great serial. For me the one of the best ever made. It intentionally gets near the "spirit of the time" in the way I imagined in the time of my youth when I was reading the ancient books.

Classical comedy.

Another comedy from the golden archive of the Czech cinematography. "Where are my mudguards?"

Thrilling allegory. Fantastic Rudolf Hrušínský.

Nowadays, Zack Snyder is one of the best directors.

Second part (first part: "Dobrý voják Švejk") of genial picturizing of Jaroslav Hašek's novel "Good Soldier Schweik".

Very forceful documentary film. I cannot say if the movie is not tendentious, but if not... I wouldn't rather think further. In wider context it is an interesting contribution to the discussion about the nature of men, about the cyclicality of events and unfortunately even the proof that Karel Marx was right in a couple of things.

Hugely intensive quasi-documentary movie.

Another classical and widely popular Czech movie. The film was made in early 50's and therefore there can be sensed some kind of euphoria after the accession of communist regime. This euphoria affected even such great cultural personality as Jan Werich was. However, it hadn't lasted for long.

Amazing adaptation of original book.

Black humoured probe into the "little Czechs" morality directed by Miloš Forman.

Wonderful funeral musical with full of morbidity, humour and good music.

Splendid Russian comedy. Atmosphere full of absurdities, vodka a archetypal Russian humour. But nothing is purposeless there... and quite right is the one, who told that this movie is much about the freedom.

Most classical horror movie.

Excellent thriller. Verhoeven made oppressive erotic atmosphere, between two main characters are nearly tactual sparkling and script is not simple. Great movie.

Thrilling, goose-flesh evoking movie...

Emotional movie without emotionally extorting scenes.

Excellent, unique comedy.

Endearingly naive Czech school comedy from the so called "First Republic" era (first half of the 20th century).

One of the five most amiable Czech fairy tales. Pleasant music, humour and nicely acting actors and actresses.

Big surprise. Rough movie. The final battle will break you down.

Remarkable picture on the old theme of people behavior in extreme situations. Pithy apocalyptic atmosphere. I would give 100% for the last 15 minutes, even more when The Host of Seraphim from Dead Can Dance is playing.

One of the best movies in 2008. Precise screenplay, great action scenes, good psychology of figures, amazing Heath Ledger...

Expected journey from the cinema.

Audiovisual banquet. Film better than book.

Strong war movie, strongly supported by the Hans Zimmer's music.

Golden fund of Czech cinematography.

Pleasant surprise. Humour is - in comparison with Shaun of the Dead - more sharpened and still beautifully black. Last twelve minutes are splendid, I have laughed with tears in my eyes.

One of the most classical Czech comedies from legendary author duo Zdenek Sverak and Ladislav Smoljak.

One the most pleasing romantic pictures I've ever seen in years. Beautiful soundtrack.

Must see.

By far the most grown-up and sophisticated screenplay from the world of Star Wars. What a wonderful experience.

Season 1 - 88%

Whirl of colours and original ideas headed by Johnny Depp.

It's like fan-fair. Refreshing movie where captain Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp dominates with his creations.

Precious historical fresco from the Spain on the turn of the 18. and 19. century. Goya's figure is only one of the many, but that's no matter.

Amazing criminal movie with sophisticated involution and strong casting.

Very refreshing romantic comedy. I'd like to watch more of such kind.

Most exemplary British comedy, despite the American production. Everything's so fucking green!... Wonderful...

One of the best parody ever.

Total classic of the Czech postrevolutionary cinematography. Crazy screenplay with many of remarkable dialogues.

After the long period of time - excellent war movie. The movie that doesn't allow you to catch your breath.

From my point of view the best zombie horror ever made. Zack Snyder in this his first movie presented himself as uniquely talented director with the sense of impressive atmosphere.

"She is mine?"

Again: Ladislav Smoljak - Zdeněk Svěrák (screenplay) and Jiří Menzel (director) = unforgettable comedy.
