**Two-Two-Two Movies in One** 1. Stripes 2. From Dusk Til Dawn It’s a gritty drama about a family being taken hostage by some really bad dudes in Mexico, and then - very suddenly about an hour in - it’s a vampire movie. (@Spoons, I’ve always said that _Stripes_ is one of the greatest comedies ever, followed immediately by its inferior sequel.) ---

Cosy Dens (_Pelíšky_) Beloved Czech comedy-drama (1999) about two Prague families experiencing the “Prague Spring” of 1968, (an attempt to relax the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia which was eventually crushed by the invading armies of the Warsaw Pact). The first half of the film takes place during Christmas, 1967, and is more comedic, though much of the humor is derived from the sociopathically despotic behavior of the two politically opposite fathers and their conflicts with their teenage children. The second half of the film segues to the Prague Spring itself, and places the developments within the families against the backdrop of the wider social situation. ---
