Good Bye Lenin! was pretty cool. Decent story and acting, and the level of detail they put into recreating the feel and look of the Eastern bloc was great.
That Jesus Jones cassette was the first piece of music I ever bought for myself, and I do indeed remember listening to it that day. As a budding political junkie, I somehow knew what a huge moment it was and was glued to the TV for hours, my huge yellow waterprroof Sony Walkman and JJ cassette nearby.
I always confuse the star of Good Bye Lenin! with Ricky Schroeder.
My childhood friend's mom escaped to West Berlin in the '50s. When the Wall finally came down, I couldn't believe it. It was definitely one of those "moments" of your life that you'll never forget.
