[REL] Till Eulenspiegel (1974)

I must say there were almost no children at all in this movie, and even the OT scene described at RFF was mostly adult with a some boys and was almost the only children shown. The movie itself was entertaining and is a keeper, in spite of it not really being FLM material.In medieval Germany, poor and witty Till Eulenspiegel fools and cheats citizens, churchmen, and landlords. Although in most cases he uses his wit for personal well-being, he often helps the poor and weak. Eventually, he gains an influential but also dangerous position as royal fool at the court of the emperor.
It does have an OT scene and it is on RFF, but the movie has almost nothing at all to do with kids so I wouldn't classify it as FLM myself, but my definition isn't necessarily the only one and there are other films on FLM that are only here because of an OT scene. I'll leave it to the admins to decide whether to move it or trashcan it.BizarreLoveTriangle wrote:Hmm, if it is off-topic, should it be really promoted to a [REL]?
there are a LOT of films here that are only here because of a brief blink and you will miss it moment. but because it has been mentioned as to what to expect it harms no one to release it. this will give opportunity for those searching off of RFF to pass or grab now that they have this knowledge.Phuzzy4242 wrote:It does have an OT scene and it is on RFF, but the movie has almost nothing at all to do with kids so I wouldn't classify it as FLM myself, but my definition isn't necessarily the only one and there are other films on FLM that are only here because of an OT scene.

My preferred approach in the past has been to ignore the problemBizarreLoveTriangle wrote:Hmm, if it is off-topic, should it be really promoted to a [REL]?
Yes, this always has been some kind of problem in this forum. We have so many movies posted with maybe only 2 or 3 seconds of OT ... As long as the poster makes it clear, it always has been ok for me.. People can download it or not if they don't like to.Hmm, if it is off-topic, should it be really promoted to a [REL]? eusa_think.gif
I didn't say it wasn't OT because the children were boys, I said it wasn't really FLM because there were almost no children AT ALL. I don't really care whether or not skin is shown as long as the children are at least some of the focus of the movie, not merely stage props for a few minutes in an otherwise all-adult film. None of the kids in Till Eulenspiegel have even minor roles, they're just window dressing and not much of that.Debaser wrote:Suggesting it might not be OT because the children are boys is discriminatory!
Boys certainly don’t give me the horn, but they certainly do others![]()
Also, a film doesn’t have to be about kids to be on FLM, just as long as the boy/boys or girl/girls are doing something at least vaguely interesting at some point in the movie, as is the case with a ton of films here on the board.
Anyway, good call giving the warning. No way should it be removed from release.
