September 9, 200719 yr Author I do realize it was released 5 years after its initial release in Germany. I just feel that after a substantial amount of time has passed, a movie should revert to using its original release date as its default. Of course that's just personal preference. Martin Scorsese included a late 1980s foreign film into his top 10 films of the 90's and he said, "I'm cheating a bit on this one..." which is where my response came from.
